Purchase options and add-ons

The Posleen are coming and the models all say the same thing: Without the Panama Canal, the US is doomed to starvation and defeat. Despite being overstretched preparing to defend the US, the military sends everything it has left: A handful of advanced Armored Combat Suits, rejuvenated veterans from the many decades that Panama was a virtual colony and three antiquated warships. Other than that, the Panamanians are on their own. Replete with detailed imagery of the landscape, characters and politics that have made the jungle-infested peninsula a Shangri-La for so many over the years, Yellow Eyes is a hard-hitting look at facing a swarming alien horde with not much more than wits and guts. Fortunately for the human race, the Panamanians, and the many veterans that think of it as a second home, have plenty of both.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

John Ringo is the New York Times best-selling author of the Black Tide Rising series, the Posleen War series, the Through the Looking Glass series, and more, including the Troy Rising series, of which Live Free or Die is the first installment. A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, Ringo brings firsthand knowledge of military operations to his fiction.

In 1974, at age seventeen, Tom Kratman became a political refugee and defector from the PRM (People’s Republic of Massachusetts) by virtue of joining the Regular Army. He stayed a Regular Army infantryman most of his adult life, returning to Massachusetts as an unofficial dissident while attending Boston College after his first hitch. Back in the Army, he managed to do just about everything there was to do at one time or another. After the Gulf War, with the bottom dropping completely out of the anti-communist market, Tom decided to become a lawyer. Every now and again, when the frustrations of legal life and having to deal with other lawyers got to be too much, Tom would rejoin the Army (or a somewhat similar group, say) for fun and frolic in other climes. His family, muttering darkly, put up with this for years. He no longer practices law, instead writing full-time for Baen. His novels for Baen include A State of Disobedience, Caliphate, and the series consisting of A Desert Called Peace, Carnifex, The Lotus Eaters, The Amazon Legion, Come and Take Them, The Rods and the Axe, and A Pillar of Fire by Night. With John Ringo, he has written the novels Watch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes, and The Tuloriad. Also for Baen, he has written the first three volumes of the modern-day military fiction series Countdown.

    I'm a professional author of... Well, I used to say "science fiction." Then came There Will Be Dragons, which is sf with a distinct fantasy twist. Then came Ghost which is techno-thriller crossed with porn. Then came Princess of Wands, a Christian soccer mom battling demons through the power of God. Who knows what's next? Children's books? (I've actually got that one mapped out. You see, there's this girl who is raised by dolphins... You think I'm joking, don't you?)

    5.0 out of 5 stars IMHO this is the best book in the Posleen War Series
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Yellow Eyes by John Ringo and Tom Krautman (2007) is in the Posleen War Universe witch includes:

    A Hymn Before Battle
    Gust Font
    When the Devil Dances
    Hell's Faire
    The Hero
    Cally's War
    Watch on the Rhine

    Yellow Eyes

    And Sister Time (forth coming)

    Per the book"This being the tale of the defense of the Panama Canal by U.S. and Panamanian forces against landing and migrating Posleen." Actually it also includes the defense of all of South and Central America

    In the interest of full-disclosure I need to tell you that I am an ex-Artillery officer, which John treats with the respect Artillery deserves.

    "Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be an unruly mob."

    I attended and graduated from the U.S. Army's Jungle War Fare School (JWS) in the Canal Zone. Even swam the Shagras River. Remind me to tell you about the soldier in the boat with the rifle, due to a hole in the shark net.

    Some might argue that this should be read immediately after Hell's Faire, but what the hey, read them all. You'll enjoy it more. Besides John's kids could use the money in their college fund.

    I highly recommend this book. Any body who has ever spit-shined a boot will enjoy this book. Who ever came up with the story of the caimen and the Posleen is a genius! I thought I was going to bust a gut I laughed so hard.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fighting Posties in Central America
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This compilation by Ringo and Kratman shows how an already excellent story line can be made even better. It's possible! The Posties target Central and South America. Will they do better than Norte Americana? The authors interweave a diverse amount of plotlines that all come together to make another page turner. If you've read The watch on the Rhine already, this is another excellent compilation. If not, what are you waiting for, read this and get to the European front. The Posties suffer the most. The authors almost make you sympathetic for the Posties, but the humans suffer just as much. Read how the Darhel work in the background to hamper the humans. Read about the trials and tribulations of all the characters, from the jungles to the mountains, and to the sea. It's a late night page turner or better yet, make it a weekend, lock the doors, hang the 'do not disturb' sign read-a-thon. ONE of the best.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2015

    One of the better books in the series, this introduces a new suite of characters and takes the time to properly introduce them, and make you care about them a lot. Some of the new characters are extremely creative, but don't want to spoil it for you!

    Overall, if you're reading through the series, do not skip this one!

    I found this extremely refreshing - the locations, characters, scenarios and battles are just fantastic in this book. Lots is new here and it breathed life back into this for me. Possibly my fav in the series.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Of all the books in this series, this is my favorite. You'll see some of the best characters of the series begin here.

    Honestly though, what got me was the setting and the people. They feel so damned real! I've never been to Panama, but I lived in the Philippines for a few years. The Philippines are a lot more Latin than they are Asian, and with the shared history of both Spanish and American influence the similarities between the Panama in the book and the Philippines that I know just clicked for me. Damned good book, I bought it 2 months ago and I've already read it twice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Most likable alien invader of Earth in literature
    Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I am a woman who loves military science fiction and really enjoyed this book when I read it several years ago. I found out that a friend of several years had the same tastes which she had never admitted to anyone. I bought this as a gift for her. The most memorable characters are an intelligent ship whose avatar is a very sexy lady, and a Posleen godking who has the worst possible experiences in the jungles of Panama, It speaks well of John Ringo's writing that he makes the 'enemy' so likable. For those who have not read other books in the series the Posleen are omnivore invaders of Earth who think humans make a great main dish.

    (Hint to writers and publishers women may be an unrecognized market.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yellow Eyes
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    This book is well worth reading if you are into military si-fi. Although it is one of the Posleen series it can be read as a stand alone novel as it is about the Posleen landing in Central America.
    The Posleen are a reptilian race and are out to conquer Earth and they have to be stopped as to them we are just a source of food.
    Though supported by the United States who have enough problems of their own and not a lot of troops to spare, the population of Panana are to be at the sharp end of the defence. New characters and and the spirit of an old Panamanian warship who manages to communicate with an electronid aide add some humour to ths situation.

    The premise that every ship, especially warships, absorbs something of the crews presence is brilliant, a lot of old salts will understand (although the hilarious reference to Russian ships will annoy a few of them)
    A spin-off to the Posleen series, it is best read after the rest of the series, to understand the scenario. Well written, good characters and battle scenes. If you like military SF with a bit of humour, go for it.
