About this listen

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 best-selling authors Christopher Hopper and J.N. Chaney on what audiences call a "nonstop, 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 beginning to the hit series Ruins of the Galaxy.

initially other reviews put me off seeming that this book was exactly like the other series that has the magnificent Skippy but other than it involving an AI i can't see any similarities. Maybe because they're both read by Bray that people are making the link? in fact I think this is better written and clearly more research was done to write it (sorry Craig). the story is well paced and intriguing - hopefully the series continues this strong and has a better finish than the one it's supposedly stealing from.

Very excited to start the next book!

Similar to a certain another series's?

Bray is majestic as narrator of this very solid military sci-fi epic. Very reminiscent of the Expeditionary Force series at times but grittier at times. Could it have been a bit tighter and shorter, sure, but for those looking for value for money, look no further.

A powerful macho sci-fi romp

Many giving it a low rating say its a copy of expeditionary force, What could be a higher recommendation than that. I'm loving both stories and can't wait for more from both. R C Bray has so much spare time he narrates both series while hiding in his bunker under New York, what a man and legend.
