Tiger By the Tail

by John Ringo, Ryan Sear

Overview

<b>NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING MILITARY ADVENTURE SERIES.</b><br /><br />A new addition to the Kildar military adventure series created by John Ringo. Sequel to <i>Ghost</i>, <i>Kildar</i>, <i>Choosers of the Slain</i> and <i>Unto the Breach</i>.<br /><br />After saving America from Middle Eastern terrorists, even Mike Harmon and the Keldara could use a vacation. Of course, the Kildar’s idea of a vacation includes taking down pirates in the Singapore Straits. But when he finds computer chips designed to run nuclear reactors in the pirate booty, Harmon has a new mission thrust upon him–discover how bottom-feeding thieves got their hands on top-secret technology.<br /><br />The chips are headed for newly democratic Myanmar, a country vital to American interests in the region. Now Harmon finds himself in a desperate race to learn who stole the chips and why. From glittering Hong Kong to the slums of Thailand to the swamps of Myanmar, Harmon and his Keldara team follow a trail of death and deceit across the glittering underbelly of Southeast Asia.<br /><br />And as the path winds through dark jungle and slave labor camps to the heart of newborn democracy, Harmon must devise a way to prevent the nasty overthrow of a nation’s capital by totalitarian tyrants. But if there’s one thing Mike and the Keldara specialize in, it’s doing what it takes to give freedom a chance.<br /><br />At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

About the Author

<b>John Ringo</b> began writing for Baen in 2000 with his first release <i>A Hymn Before Battle</i>—the first novel in his Posleen Wars—which has become a <i>New York Times</i> best-selling series with <b>over one million copies in print</b>. The series continued with <i>Gust Front</i>, <i>When the Devil Dances</i>, <i>Hell’s Faire</i> and <i>Eye of the Storm</i>. In addition, Ringo has penned the Council War series: <i>There Will be Dragons</i>, <i>Emerald Sea</i>, <i>Against the Tide</i>, and <i>East of the Sun, West of the Moon</i>. Adding another dimension to his skills, Ringo created nationally best-selling techno-thriller novels about Mike Harmon (<i>Ghost</i>, <i>Kildar</i>, <i>Choosers of the Slain</i>, <i>Unto the Breach</i>, and <i>A Deeper Blue</i>). His latest techno-thriller, <i>The Last Centurion</i>, was also a national best seller. A more playful twist on the future is found in novels of the Looking-Glass series: <i>Into the Looking Glass</i>, <i>Vorpal Blade</i>, <i>Manxome Foe</i> and <i>Claws That Catch</i>, the last three in collaboration with Travis S. Taylor. His audience was further enhanced with four collaborations with fellow <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author David Weber: <i>March Upcountry</i>, <i>March to the Sea</i>, <i>March to the Stars</i> and <i>We Few</i>. There are an additional five collaborative sequels in the Posleen series: <i>The Hero</i>, written with Michael Z. Williamson, <i>Watch on the Rhine</i>, <i>Yellow Eyes</i> and <i>The Tuloriad</i>, all written with Tom Kratman, and the <i>New York Times</i> best seller <i>Cally’s War</i> and its sequels <i>Sister Time</i> and <i>Honor of the Clan</i>, both with Julie Cochrane. A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, he brings first-hand knowledge of military operations to his fiction.<br /><br />“[Ringo’s SF is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.” —<i>Library Journal</i>
