آخرین صدراعظم

In the second decade of the twenty-first century the world is struck by two catastrophes, a new mini-ice age and, nearly simultaneously, a plague to dwarf all previous experiences. Rising out of the disaster is the character known to history as “Bandit Six” an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild the world and prevent the fall of his homeland—despite the best efforts of politicians both elected and military. The Last Centurion is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a darkling mirror of our own. Written “blog-style,” it pulls no punches in its descriptions of junk science, bad strategy and organic farming not to mention all three at once. Denise A. Garofalo - Library Journal In the near future of New York Times best-selling author Ringo's latest novel, written in the style of a blog and from the perspective of a U.S. Army officer, a society must simultaneously deal with a pandemic, an inept government, and a mini-ice age. The descriptions of ambushes and battles, clearly and skillfully narrated by actor/musician Dan John Miller, are especially exciting and realistic. Librarians should be aware, though, that the language can be crude and vulgar and the right-leaning political and moral commentary won't sit well with every listener.

At The Height Of The Roman Republic There Were Over Five Thousand Qualified Roman Centurions In The Legions. To Be A Centurion Required That, In A Mostly Illiterate Society, One Be Able To Read And Write Clearly, To Be Able To Convey And Create Orders, To Be Capable Of Not Only Performing Every Skill Of A Roman Soldier But Teach Every Skill Of A Roman Soldier. Becoming A Centurion Required Intense Physical Ability, Courage Beyond The Norm, Years Of Sacrifice And A Total Devotion To The Philosophy Which Was Rome. When Rome Fell To Barbarian Invaders, There Were Less Than Five Hundred Qualified Centurions. Not Because Rome Had Fewer People But Because It Had Fewer Willing To Make The Sacrifices. And The Last Centurions Left Their Shields In The Heather And Took A Barbarian Bride . . . We Are . . . The Last Centurions.
