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.

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

understand story is still developing and I can't wait to read the next chapter. but have to say that RC Bray's excellent delivery of Temu Skippy is great...but I am seriously hoping we get a book JUST with Vlad...OMG I can't get enough of that guy...

RC Bray is that man!

I absolutely loved this book and R.C.Bray us absolutely fantastic playing all rhe different characters both human and not .... and the use of UK 🇬🇧 profanity is spot on 👍

Beware the Flounder

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.

I came here to comment on other folks review. i totally agree with them, that this is an expeditionary force rip off, still enjoyed it though. but i cant believe how this even got the go ahead by publishers and audible and RC Bray!

after 5 minutes this is nothing like Stargate, my advice funny listen to it in the car, I nearly crashed so many times getting right into the story and laughing so much, never laughed at a book do much.

best audiobook I have listened to, everything in it worked well and the accents were brilliant. would I recommend, good yes 😁😁😁😁😁😁

I thought when it started omg this is Stargate
