A secret buried in the Antarctic. A puzzle unsolved for thousands of years.

And a Brooklyn-born Master Gunnery Sergeant who's royally pissed that he has to babysit the researchers sent to figure it all out. Patrick "Wic" Finnegan's last op as a Marine Raider before retirement sends him to the frozen Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands. The only reason he's here?

He owes a favor to an old friend, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

When Wic finally sees what the team has uncovered, he can't believe his eyes, nor is he prepared for the violence to come. Soon, the portal opens and unleashes a storm of unbridled fury upon humanity.

From the Antarctic tundra to the streets of Manhattan, Wic and his team will be pushed to their limits as they fight to hold back Earth's ultimate threat. The odds are against them. Governments are toppling. And the Earth is falling into ruin.

Join bestselling authors Christopher Hopper and J.N. Chaney on what readers call a "non-stop, break-neck thrill ride into metaspace." For fans of District 9, Expeditionary Force, and Galaxy's Edge, this is one military sci-fi thriller you won't be able to put down, and the official prequel to the hit series Ruins of the Galaxy.

I enjoyed this book however I did find similarities between this book and Craig Alanson’s The expeditionary force, they even mention that if you like his book chances are you will like this one. I don’t want to give away any info but the story is set on Earth and not in Space.

There is humor in this book, a tiny bit of romance but the book doesn’t focus on that at all.

R. C. Bray brings his amazing voice to this book and I fully enjoy his talent.

Similar story.....

Well I have to agree with a lot of the reviews that mentioned copying the expeditionary force and the ai resemblance to Skippy is uncanny and some other parts are very similar.

but I'm not complaining this itches the expeditionary force itch quite well while I'm waiting for the next book.

needlessly to say r.c. Bray did excellent as always

Very good

Okay okay, I get it. An AI with a British accent is always going to be compared to Skippy but that doesn't mean the story doesn't hold it's own.
I loved it!

Great Story.

Erm, ok, I have an idea for a book. Earth gets invaded by aliens. A tough, but reluctant ex special forces dude finds a, erm a, ah yes, he finds this pair of alien shoes, yeah that’s good. So this soldier guy finds these alien shoes and he puts them on and then discovers that these alien shoes called Skippy, no, wait, called Chuck, no wait, called erm Hank, yeah Hank, are actually super intelligent AI shoes that can talk and have a superiority complex but help the soldier guy to defeat the alien dudes. Totally original idea, definitely not been done before. I can only imagine R. C Bray must have read this with a very curious look on his face - “Have I not done this one already?” Aside from the obvious, I did really enjoy this

Loved it but …..Erm, didn’t we already …
