The Tuloriad (Human-Posleen War Series #12) » (Library Edition)

A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, Ringo brings first-hand knowledge of military operations to his fiction, as does Tom Kratman, also a U.S. Army veteran.

Of the once innumerable battle clans of the Posleen only a handful survive. And that on the sufferance of a group of despised Indowy and Himmit. Plucked from the maelstrom on Earth they are cast out into the eternal blackness of the stars with only a slightly insane Indowy and a computer virus to guide them.
What follows is a trail of tears and remembrance as the Posleen retrace the footsteps of their ancestors in a search for their homeworld. A search to determine if the Posleen possess the one thing no Human would give them credit for: A soul.
Returned to their beginnings, the question remains: Is there a new path for the Tular Posleen?

Library Journal

In this sequel to Yellow Eyes, Ringo ("Legacy of the Aldenata" series) and Kratman (A State of Disobedience) recall the classic voyage of Odysseus after the fall of Troy. In the wake of their failed invasion of Earth, the alien Posleen are placed aboard a ship and sent into space followed by human members of various religions hoping to convert them. VERDICT Ringo's military sf is unparalleled, while his more thoughtful moments provide insights often missing from action-based sf. Fans of the series and the authors will enjoy this somber chronicle of victors and vanquished.
