Summary

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.

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"

The narrator is brilliant.

Loved the narration, especially the sci-fi in-jokes.
A typical B movie extravaganza. RC Bray really brings the story to life. Well done.

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
