Yea! the story continues and its even better
Well there is not much to say, I dont know if it makes sense to review a book thats the 3rd out of 4 books (or more if you count the side stories) because if you have read the first 2 then you know whats going on and why you should read this one, but here it goes.
So the story continues and its even better then I thought it would get, many if the issues I have had with the other books having side plots that go nowhere and other ones that do but dont make sense, many of those things are not here which is a good thing.
There are some things that are hinted at in the last 2 books that you know have to be going on but are not sure how its done and its sorta touched on here and really its awesome as ever - the regeneration stuff turns out is a little easier then it was thought to do and evidence that might help explain why Earth was helped to prepare its self for the war.

Can it be better?
In this whole series also......John Ringo is without a doubt, in my mind, one of the best science fiction writers currently plying the trade. I don't know if he grew up reading the masters (heinlien, clarke, asimov....) but I am hearing their echos in his writing. An absolute joy to listen to........... Science Fiction like it needs to be.......(again).

Hold the Pass
The battle for Earth continues from the prior books in the series. There was less of Mike and the suits in this story and more about his father Mike Sr. and daughter Cally. The life in the Urb-underground complex where the women and children lived was interesting and the flight to escape was nail-biting suspense. The suspense during the entire book continued to build with lots of battle action to help relieve the tension, along with some humor. The nuclear weapons were used in this story to great effect. Marc Vietor did a great job narrating the book and was impressive with the alien voices. Look forward to the next volume.

John Ringo spins a great story
Where does When the Devil Dances rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
John Ringo's conversational style of writing lends itself well to audio format. Marc Vietor does a terrific job reading this book so that it is engaging and entertaining. Both the Posleen and Troy series have been great listens and among some of the best audio books I have in my collection.
What other book might you compare When the Devil Dances to and why?
There is more of a straight military/action style to the Posleen series ("Hymn before Battle" and "Gust Front") as compared to the Troy series ("Live Free or Die", "Citadel", "The Hot Gate"), but the humor and pop references in all the books makes for an entertaining story, though the story does involve a lot of military action so if you are not a fan of the genre you will likely not enjoy these that much.
The series here compare well early Honor Harrington novels. Battles are tense, the actions of the characters heroic, but there are moments of humor as well. These are people who are thrust into dangerous events and rise to the challenge.
Which scene was your favorite?
There are so many, it is hard to pick just one. I think the combination of John Ringo and Marc Vietor makes for a wonderful book, I really cannot say that enough.
The emotions are sometimes very raw, but the reactions of a diverse cast of characters to world shattering events seem real and are as varied as the personalities of the characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The raid on the Urb and the realization by the characters that they must get out, but that the majority of those in the underground complex were doomed before the characters were even aware the complex had been invaded.

The goes on and the kids grow up.
What made the experience of listening to When the Devil Dances the most enjoyable?
Marc Vietor does such a great job with all of the different characters and emotions needed in this.

I am determined to get through this entire series, I'm really enjoying it.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There's a great part in the middle of the book that really establishes how human these characters are.

Great book with fast paced action
I loved this book,
Marc Vietor does a fantastic job with all the voices and gives a lot of energy to the characters. All in all this is the one I have preferred so far.

Smart Posleen are Bad News
We see some of the ACS in the beginning, but again I was a little disappointed that the heroes we came to meet in the first book did not feature more prominently. However, Ringo, once again does a good job, introducing us to new faces, and again, tactically, technically, and geographically, I think, paints an accurate portrayal of how this battle would go.

Wish all narrators were this good!
Great story, great narration, what's not to like? If you're a sci-fi or military adventure fan, you've found your series! Start with the first book though!
