WORST TWO OUT OF THREE
When a 60 kiloton explosion destroys the University of Central
Florida, terrorism is the first suspect. But terrorists don't generally ,

alien gates start disgorging "demons."
As a snap decision, he appears to be the perfect choice: smart, tough

and figure out why the heck these gates keep opening.

As the gates spread and evil aliens spread with them, it is up to
Weaver and SEAL Command Master Chief Miller to find a way to stop
the proliferation and close the hostile gates. The problem being that
the only way they can see to save the Earth is destroy it. Then there's
not going to be any more girlfriends or cellphones or bosses

"Ringo excels in the depiction of combat, managing to capture the carnage and
horror while maintaining a sense of the absurd . . . [and] the kind of unexpect-

should appeal to techno-thriller fans as well as to military SF buffs."
