John Ringo resumes where von Daniken left off?

I'm trying to read John Ringo's latest novel "Eye of the Storm". Trying is the operative adjective. Besides being the same story - he's not really written a new story in a few years now* - he's always written, it's taken a really strange twist: John Ringo meets Erich von Daniken.

Remember him? :-)

(Okay, you have to be of a certain, erm, vintage to remember that idiot.)

* Clive Cussler, on the other hand, hasn't written a new story in over a decade.
