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.

Very good

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

What’s the point when you don’t use Bray for bk 5

Annoyed I got into this series because RC Bray doesn’t continue in book 5 or 6. Such a shame and feel like I wasted my time not having an ending to a series.

Picked up because of R.C. Bray and not regretting!

As always R.C. Bray are just fantastic in his Narration I originatly picked up this book because well I love Sci-fi and I love Mister Bray.. I can only say yeah this is a damn good story. Lots of action humor and great character building and once more Bray just NAILS the voices of the characters bringing them to life beautifully. After 30 minutes I went and got book two... That was 2 days ago and Now I am starting on it after finishing this book ^^

Top quality syfy and performance by R C Bray

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.

amazing

I though this was fantastic I could not stop listening, this has been something I've been waiting for a while others are being done. Can't wait till the next book and I think Mr Hopper should have a role as the interview with RC bray was excellent. thoroughly enjoyed every minute. take my money make another since you have the "time"
