Query: As used as one of this book's victims

I have thoroughly enjoyed John Ringo's other books and purchased this one on that experience. However, I felt "ripped off" by this purchase. The sex and violence Ringo warns about don't particularly offend me, but where previous work had some reasonable depth of drama and human perseverance, this story reads like a Young Republican's fantasy. Some of the political spin was so bad it read like an election ad. After finishing "Watch on the Rhine" and going to this book, I couldn't believe it was written by the same person. The next time I see a new Ringo book I'll wait for reviews before spending my money.
