    About the book: 2005 / Imagine that you weigh fourteen thousand tons, that instead of hands you have the most powerful ultra-modern guns, instead of depression or a hangover - trembling in the psychotronic circuits, and somewhere in the very depths of the ingenious mechanisms - a tender and tremulous heart... In the novel by John Ringo and Linda Evans “The Road to Damascus” we see the tragic panorama of the civil war on the outlying planet called Jefferson through the eyes of a gigantic battleship named "Prodigal Son". “The Road to Damascus” is both a story about the touching relationship between a giant machine and its commander, referring us to the traditions of a chivalric romance, and a story about strong people who know how to love and fight. The caustic political dystopia will inevitably remind the Russian reader of the events of our history, and the “Russian theme” of the novel may cause a smile. The philosophical parable about moral insight is presented by the authors in an entertaining form of fantastic action. Battleships start - and win!
