Now, though, his adopted country of Balboa is under assault from the east, from the south, from the west, from the air, and from space. It's beginning to look like the game is up for Balboa and Patricio Carrera. But Carrera's been planning this war for fifteen years. He certainly <i>hopes</i> his enemies think they're winning. <p/> <b>About Tom Kratman's Carrera series: </b><br> "[I]nterplanetary warfare with. . .[a] visceral story of bravery and sacrifice . . . fans of the military SF of John Ringo and David Weber should enjoy this SF action adventure."-<i>Library Journal</i> <p/> "Kratman's dystopia is a brisk page turner full of startling twists ...

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, and 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 <i>other</i> 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 <i>years</i>. He no longer practices law, instead writing full time for Baen. His novels for Baen include <i>A State of Disobedience, Caliphate</i>, and the series consisting of <i>A Desert Called Peace, Carnifex, The Lotus Eaters, The Amazon Legion, Come and Take Them</i>, <i>The Rods and the Axe</i>, and <i>A Pillar of Fire by Night. </i>He has written novels with John Ringo: <i>Watch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes</i>, and <i>The Tuloriad.</i> Also for Baen, he has written the first three volumes of the modern day military fiction Countdown series.
