With the defenses of the Southern Appalachians sundered, the only thing standing between the ravening Posleen hordes and the soft interior of the Cumberland Plateau are the veterans of 555th Mobile Infantry. Dropped into Rabun Pass, with a couple of million Posleen behind them and fourteen million to the front, the only question is which will run out first: power, bullets or bodies. But they have a hole card: far to the north the shattered SheVa Nine is undergoing a facelift. Rising from its smoking ashes is a new weapon of war, armed with the most advanced weaponry Terra has ever produced, capable of facing both the Posleen hordes and their redoubtable space-cruisers. Capable of dealing out hell as only SheVa Nine can. If Mike O'Neal and the other members of the 555th are going to survive, it will come down to how much Posleen butt Bun-bun can kick. Prepare to eat antimatter, Posleen-boy.

From Publishers Weekly
Humanity's war against the nasty alien Posleens continues in military SF author Ringo's latest entry in his popular Legacy of the Aldenata series (after 2002's When the Devil Dances), but the unambivalent, almost innocent joie de combat of the earlier, pre-9/11 books is missing here. Having learned to combine human strategy with superior (although captured) technology, a Posleen overlord threatens to break through into unoccupied human territory. Opposing this effort are Major Mike O'Neal and his battalion of armored combat suits, plus conventional armor units lead by a Brobdingnagian mobile gun with a razor-wielding cartoon rabbit emblazoned on its side. The battle scenes are as vivid as ever, but the consequences lie more heavily than before on the warriors, as when O'Neal approves a nuclear strike near where his remaining family are located in order to save his command. It becomes increasingly clear that some alien "allies" would prefer that the humans and Posleens destroy one another and leave the galactic status quo undisturbed. Attentive readers may notice some overlap with When the Devil Dances, which Ringo explains in an afterword. Despite the overall dark tone, the author's trademark gallows humor shines through ("This is what you get for letting rednecks play with antimatter, boss"). So does a bit of hope: Ringo concludes his afterword by asserting "the good guys always win in the end."

From Booklist
The fourth and final novel (for the moment, at least) about Earth versus the Posleen--the same kind of glorious jumble of a book as A Hymn before Battle (2000), Gust Front (2001), and When the Devil Dances [BKL Ap 15 02] each was--brings the war for human survival to a thundering climax. Cally O'Neal and her father, Mike O'Neal, are armed and dangerous in the forefront of the action, along with a right good crew of relatives and friends. The supertank Bun- Bun and its crew also hammer their way through the Posleen, and are hammered in return. They are ably supported by voluptuous MI Major LeBlanc, now a tank battalion commander, and the superweapons created by Dr. Miguel Castanuelo; ably opposed by the Posleen, whose smarts and courage ensure real suspense right up to a slightly deus-ex-machina conclusion. Ringo most probably plans to resolve the human conflict with the Posleen's secret puppet masters, so, as before, enjoy in the expectation of more to come. Roland Green

The Rest of the Story
By Arthur W Jordin
Hell's Faire (2003) is the fourth novel in the Legacy of the Aldenata series, following When the Devil Dances. In the previous volume, the Posleen have begun their main assault, overcoming all fixed defenses everywhere in the world except the eastern United States and Canada. Their drive to Asheville through Rabun Gap has been stopped temporarily by a nuclear bombardment. There is a short lull in the fighting as both sides reorganize and refit.
In this novel, Mike O'Neal and his 555th Mobile Infantry are inserted into Rabun Gap to prepare for the upcoming Posleen assault. However, Tulo'stenaloor, senior Posleen commander in the forces attacking the Gap, has learned a little about the human method of warfare and sets up an ambush for the 555th.
Mike's daughter, Callie O'Neal, is alone in Cache 4 on the O'Neal farm. Mike's father had been caught on the surface during the nuke blasts and, when Callie found him, his body was cold and buried under the debris. Now Callie prepares to leave the farm, but just then the defense forces drop a salvo of strategic nukes on three passes near Mountain City. Since things are a little hectic outside, she decides to wait a while before venturing out.
Sergeant Major Mosovich and the refugees are only a few miles from Cache 4, but are cut off from the defending forces. Moreover, his AID advises them that the nukes are incoming. They have been running the ridgelines, but these are too exposed with nuclear blasts on the way. Jake leads his party back to Cache 4.
Meanwhile, the maintenance brigade for Sheva Nine -- Bun-Bun -- has finally caught up to the monster weapon. They bring with them Paul Kilzer, one of the designers of the Sheva gun platform. He has a few ideas for enhancing the weapon. Moreover, he looks like Riff in the Sluggy Freelance cartoons.
BTW, some reviewers have referred to Bun-Bun as a supertank. On the contrary, the Sheva Nine is a lightly armored self-propelled gun, with very poor mobility. The weather shield is not an armored turret, but rather a relatively thin screen to keep out rain and small-arms fire. Notice that the heavier Posleen weapons have little trouble penetrating the weather shield or even the hull itself. The Shevas were originally designed to kill Posleen landers and C-decs, which they do quite handily. Anti-personnel actions became possible only with the addition of the MetalStorm turrets. Even then, Bun-Bun would not have survived close contact with the Posleen without her escorts (and the oversized Claymores).
Back on the campus, Dr. Miguel Castanuelo, a graduate of Georgia Tech who is now a professor at arch-rival UT at Knoxville, is an expert on micro-containment of anti-matter. He has been trying to devise a way to use anti-matter as a fuel for cars, trucks and other small vehicles. After studying the Indowy methods of containment, he concludes that it is a religious thing and returns to his previous notions. He manages to develop a process of encapsulation in bucky balls, but the results are rather radioactive for several days afterwards. Of course, this isn't a problem with an area denial weapon, so he produces a big orange surprise for the Posleen.
This novel is a continuation of the previous volume. In fact, it would have been incorporated into When the Devil Dances except for the events surrounding 9/11. Although the author is apologetic about the lapse in his writing that caused this portion to be delayed, the final results may have been even better than the originally planned trilogy. This volume contains 330 pages (including the Sluggy Freelance cartoons) and the previous volume contains 494 pages. Even eliminating the backstory verbiage, the combined volume would be larger than some of the Wheel of Time books. My guess is that the paperback would have been split into two volumes anyway.
This volume ends the Legacy of the Aldenata series for now. The author mentions further tales about the backstory and other aspects of the events and characters in this series, but the Posleen invasion is terminated.
Highly recommended for Ringo fans and anyone else who enjoys military science fiction with the ring of authenticity. New readers, however, are strongly encouraged to start with A Hymn Before Battle to get the full effect.

315 pages of action
By Carl Abrams
It is very difficult for some of the people here to excuse John Ringo for not including Hell's Faire as part of the earlier book. It's not a stand-alone - instead out of 325 pages of text, it's 315 pages of action, and about 10 pages of explanation.
Apparently these people have never suffered from writer's block themselves. Given the background of John Ringo - it would be very difficult for him to try to write a fictional story of the world falling apart when the real world was falling apart on our TV screens.
The Amazon price is fair for this - I wouldn't pay full price for it, since it's only 325 pages, and it only took me two and a half hours to read. The CD included, though, has another $100 worth of books on it, which is great for Baen to do this.
There will be other books in this series - there are a lot of things to resolve, such as Mike's other daughter, plus what his father and Callie do for the Bane Sidhe. That the Darhel are attempting to bargain again with the Posleen only screams additional series.
If you're a Sluggy fan and found Ringo due the references, hang in there. Read the books from the beginning - and remember, don't let rednecks play with anti-matter!

Hard to put down!
By Dale Goodwin
Having read all of the Posleen war books ("Hymn Before Battle", "Gust Front", "When the Devil Dances", and "Hell's Faire", as well as "Cally's War")I can truthfully say they were all excellent. My biggest problem was that they were not all read in proper sequence so I had difficulty with the connection between them. Going from Hymn to Devil Dances to Callly's and back to Gust before finishing with the Faire is NOT the way to read the series.
By the time I got to "Hell's Faire" I was totally enthralled with the whole series and couldn't put the book down! It took me one whole weekend to read, and I got nothing else accomplished. At that, it was well worth it!
Some repeating ofmany of the explanations got a little cumbersome after the first one or two, but I waded through that pretty quickly to get to the good parts.
Since I was born and raised in Tidewater and Northern Virginia (my Dad was a career Combat Engineer), I can identify with and recognize all the places mentioned even without the map helps. As such the story is much more real to me because it is about real places. Thankfully they are fictional events that happened to those settings.
As for the incident with the mistaken gain control setting on the geiger counter, I did that myself once (I was stationed on a Nike Hercules site in San Francisco) so I know it is an easy mistake to make if you are not very careful. Fortunately I caught the mistake before anyone got their butt in a sling so all I got was a lot of ribbing for being a newbie.
I plan on waiting a few months and then re-reading all of the books of this series IN ORDER so I can get the proper perspective and full flavor. And I highly recommend anyone else to do the same!
