Another all-out Invasion-of-Earth chapter from unabashed military SF fanatic John Ringo, who is noted for his KILDAR series, and Tom Kratman.
From back cover: The Posleen Invaders are Coming and the models all say the same thing: Without the Panama Canal, the U.S. is doomed to starvation and defeat. Despite being overstretched preparing to defend the U.S., the military sends everything it has left: a handful of advanced Armored Combat Suits, rejuvenated U.S. veterans from the many decades that Panama was a virtual colony and three antiquated warships. Other than that, the Panamanians are on their own against the swarming alien horde they will have to face. But the humans do have one thing going for them: one of the warships is haunted.
