"Not That Kind of Good Guy (Shadow's Path)" by John Ringo https://www.amazon.com/That-Kind-Good-Shadows-Path/dp/1668073390
Book number one of a three book science fiction dark fantasy series. I
read the well printed and well bound MMPB published by Baen in 2026 that
I bought from Amazon in 2025. I am eagerly awaiting the second MMPB
book that comes out in September 2026. And the third book in hardback
will be out soon also.
Michael Edwards is 13 year old 5'10" genius white guy who grew up in Baltimore's ghetto with a Black 6'4" trans mother prostitute after his
real mother was brutally murdered in an alley. He and the MS-13 gang
are having running gun battles after he supposedly slighted them. When
the MS-13 tried to murder him, he became one of Earth's 300+ Super
Heroes with invulnerability and an Earth mover. But, Michael is just
not that kind of a good guy. He lives by the motto: "Big boys don't
cry, don't snitch, and always get revenge." Michael also views himself
as a warrior for God and gets frequent help and direction from the
secret Gondola society whose mission is to destroy child trafficking
across the entire world.
I loved this book. It pushes many of my buttons and beliefs. And the
Super Heroes are fairly goofy and hard not to like. And the villains,
of whom there are many, are disgusting and easy to dislike. And I like
the fact that Michael is part Native American since my wife is part
Cherokee.

And... not only are you clueless about music, you don?t know movies either.
I haven?t read any Ringo for A Very Long Time. I wouldn?t read any Ringo
ever again unless I was very well paid to do so. Ringo appears to be a fascist, bigotted, islamaphobe, ammosexual nutcase. Almost as bad as Kratman. The fact that you defend his bullshit with such vigor says volumes about you, none of it good.

˙˙˙˙If you judge a book by the number of copies sold it
is a wonder you ever read any Science Fiction. Back in the
early 1950s I was not very popular as I was already devoted
to the form.
˙˙˙˙I will say nothing about Ringo, the author, but I
prefer Eric Flint. Kage Baker, the Bears, Aaronovitch.
your namesake Lynn McGuire, Lynsay Sands, Kim Harrison

Heinlein, Bradbury, Asimov, Campbell, and others who
helped form my tastes. They were paid lousy rates for

them when money was not tight.

oldernow included? Simply by waxing humorous on
the theme of ravers raving about other ravers'
ravings?
oldernow is likely the biggest Beatles fan in
this newsgroup, so the very first thing oldernow
wanted to say upon seeing the word 'Ringo' was
that there is only one Ringo, and others using
the name should be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of applicable law.
So of *course* oldernow noticed the joking. It's
just that most of it seemed lame, and far be
it from oldernow to point out when others are
being lame.... ;-)

I am over a quarter done with my Fortran to C++ conversion and going to
hit the next testing phase soon, I hope.˙ More and more code keeps on popping up as unknown symbols in the link.˙ I can generally convert
about 2,000 lines of code a day before I burn out for the day.
