About this listen
Emmy-nominated Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian) and Eric Dane (The Last Ship, Grey’s Anatomy) play two warring commanders in this military science fiction novel written by Nebula and Dragon Award finalists Richard Fox and Jonathan Brazee.
A war with no end. A vendetta that will destroy two commanders.
The war between the Alliance and the Hegemony has spanned countless stars and shed untold blood on a hundred worlds. For two commanders, Alliance Captain Alcazar and Major Richter of the Hegemony, the war has spiraled into a personal feud.
Both lead fierce marines and mechanized soldiers into battle against the other on the green hell planet, Ayutthaya, and each new fallen warrior only deepens the bitterness and hatred between the two.
But as the conflict rages, the two warriors discover they have more in common than they dare to admit, and their own codes of honor may be what can bring the bloodshed to an end...if they don’t kill each other first.
Military veterans and authors Fox and Brazee bring their wartime experiences and years as officers in the United States military in this grueling, head-to-head action driven story.

Critic reviews
"A tour de force of edge-of-your-seat combat. Brazee and Fox put the reader in the middle of a sci-fi war that only actual combat veterans could write. Not only is the action some of the best out there, but they capture the still, quiet moments of conflict that readers deserve to experience. Hell’s Horizon is the book fans of military sci-fi have been waiting for. Don’t miss it!” (Dave Chesson, editor in chief, TopSciFiBooks.com)
"As real as combat is and can get without having to be there. Brazee and Fox have crafted the perfect blend of military science-fiction and hyper-reality. You can smell the gunpowder of old mixed with the energy from weapons yet to be." (Craig Martelle, Dragon Finalist for Best Military Science Fiction Novel, 2018)
"Top notch action sci-fi.” (JN Chaney, best-selling author of Renegade Star and Ruins of the Galaxy)
"This is not merely a science fiction about war. This is true military science-fiction at it's most authentic, grittiest, unsentimental best.” (Chuck Gannon)

Hate negates hate, but forgiveness conquers all.
I loved this.
***WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD***
I loved how both actors brought completely different takes on what were essentially the same characters. Having the mirror of an opponent so starkly placed in front of each other, made the characters hate, made them kill, they fought, and in the end they understood and forgave.
Noone was the good guy.
Noone was the badguy.
Just two officers taking part in a meaningless political war.
Their love for their brothers in arms was so evident. From the apathetic, depressed by endless war, Major Richter, to the underdog in his own command, enlisted marine rapidly promoted as a publicity stunt, bombastic with a chip on their shoulder, Captain Alcazar. They are the yin-and-yang within each other.
In the end they will share each others graves. One was dead to the world, devoid and apathetic at the beginning of the story, by the end that insidious, melancholic feeling lives on in the opposing character.
This is an excellent audiobook. The narration From Eric dane felt flat at first, but when you hear what he thinks and how he is processing his internal war while commanding the external battles you realise that was completely intentional, I'll be looking for more novels that Eric has either Narrated or narrates because he was superb!
Giancarlo Espinoto, my word! There isn't a piece of his work I haven't enjoyed. If he takes up audiobook narration as a side gig in the future I'll be listening for sure! He really made the tough "barrio bum" - chip on the shoulder Captain Alcazar a bombastic, yet introspective character, intelligent, ruthless, but sympathetic and loving in his own way.
In summary, I'm look forward to listening to the next book, I'm sure there will be especially with the Hegemony and corruption which will be shown to the world.
To the Author. Thank you. That was a joy to listen to - even when it wasnt!
