Yellow Eyes (band)
''Yellow Eyes'' is a 2009 military science fiction novel in John Ringo's ''Legacy of the Aldenata'' series, co-authored with Tom Kratman. The book, which is a spin-off of the main series, focuses on the Posleen invasion of Central America, with an emphasis on Panama. In contrast with other books in the series, emphasis is given to naval warfare, including the reactivation of the old warships USS Texas (BB-35), USS ''Texas'', USS Salem (CA-139), USS ''Salem'', and USS Des Moines (CA-134), USS ''Des Moines''.

Roland Green at Booklist praised the book's action scenes and described its military science as intelligent though "sometimes overly political".

Signs and symptoms The most common sign at presentation is leukocoria (abnormal white reflection of the retina). Symptoms typically begin as blurred vision, usually pronounced when one eye is closed (due to the unilateral nature of the disease). Often the unaffected eye will compensate for the loss of vision in the other eye; however, this results in some loss of depth perception and parallax. Deterioration of sight may begin in either the central or peripheral vision. Deterioration is likely to begin in the upper part of the vision field as this corresponds with the bottom of the eye where blood usually pools. Flashes of light, known as photopsia, and floaters are common symptoms. Persistent color pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
