Story
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

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.

A copyright lawsuit surely?
While there is lots to like and some great characters... It is a blatant copy of another very successful book series. Not even a vague resemblance, exactly the same in many respects. How can this be allowed? Didn't even give the AI a different accent or character.
I am left in shock at the bare faced cheek.
To be honest.. I only got it for R C Bray, who I have a weird voice crush on.. But even so. He must have been uncomfortable reading it.
R C Bray.. If you read this, in the UK in 'Twat' is pronounced 'Twat' (like 'mat') , not 'Twot' ... Just saying. Otherwise, keep doing what you do x

Expeditionary Force Rip-off
If you enjoyed expeditionary force this book will either annoy you or feel like a familiar safety blanket, made all the more strange by having the same narrator.
Skippy in the form of a gun, with the same voice, same snarky attitude, narrated by the same narrator. Complete with its own version of Bishop and a similar premise ....

Same horse different jockey
If you read the other reviews you will notice that there is a common theme, that the AI is a lot like skippy the magnificent.
Although the story is a great way to lose yourself it certainly has many aspects that mirror the Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson.
On several occasions I had to check to see if it was the same author.

Terrible
What showed so much promise is totally spoiled by quirky AI. I got half way through this before I could no longer tolerate it. Great shame when two talented authors come up with such a stupid story line. My advice is to avoid this. A pity a great narrator like RC Bray has to waste his great skill on this nonsense.

Plagerising at it's best
I came to this book for RC and I stayed for the same reason. Craig Alanson should send the Mavericks to sort these writers out and if they need help, the SG creators can be invited along. Totally one dimensional character development. So stereotypical all across the board I had to fast forward often but of course felt disrespectful of Mr Bray. wow, this was so sad. I also listened to it after having just finished Andy Weir's latest, Hail Mary, which was an outstanding and unique story, so falling into this felt especially tragic.

Excellent mil sci-fi audiobook
As a fan of mil sci-fi I have high expectations and this book met them all, great story, excellent characters, good attention to detail and the right blend of humour and action without you thinking it is trying too hard. Whilst I know this is a prequel series you do not need any prior knowledge to get to grips with this story.
RC Bray knocks it out of the park again with his vocal talents, bringing Christoper Hopper/JN Chaney’s words to life, but I do not want to do them any injustice as this is an excellent book and would be great in whatever format written or spoken, and I for one cannot wait to listen to the next instalment.

Too much BeerCan
I loved Ruins of the Galaxy with its hiena - like Ancients, so probably my expectations were too high.
Unfortunately this production could not meet them.
I found the story way too similar to ExFor, and what bothers me most, is that You guys can do much, much better.
R. C. was brilliant, as always, but éven his "Sir Charles" sounded annoyingly too much like a certain BeerCan.
I'm a bit disappointed :(
3 stars max, sorry!

I really wanted to like this.
Imagine if Craig Alanson wrote expeditionary force while in middle school. Same characters, same basic plot, just not as good. if not for RC Bray, I think I would have turned it off. I will not be continuing this series.

Suspenseful military story with great characters.
This book series is part of the RUINS (Ruins of the Galaxy) book universe. This book can be read before or after you have read the other series. This series is starting off with more focus on the “military” aspect of the mil sci-fi than Ruins of the Galaxy.
It is written in a way that keeps the suspense high. It is gritty at times and has an incredibly “realistic feel” for it being sci-fi.
The characters are done very well. They are interesting, realistic, quirky, flawed, and entertaining. Each one seems unique, has depth, and we already see some character development in book one. Many sci-fi books focus on story rather than character development but this book equally places importance on both.
A fun start to a new series!
And RC Bray kills it as usual.

Even has Skippy the Magnificent! Um... I mean, "Sir Chuck the gun".
As always, RC Bray is amazing.
However I expect the authors either got Craig Alanson's permission or are expecting a law suit.

Plagiarism? Or Skippy & Nagatha light.
You get a few hours into this otherwise promising story and run head first into an AI character amazingly similar to Skippy/Nagatha from another series by C. Alanson. Oops! So I am returning the book.

The bar has been raised!!!
Unlike most Sci-Fi thrillers, this one takes place right here in our own back yard. Starting at the South Pole, moving through the rural country side of eastern Pensylvania, through New Jersey, Staten Island, and into the heart of Manhattan. The author has spared no detail to make you feel as if you are right there in the middle of all the action.
With a new batch of characters, and very authentic action scenes, mixed with humor and twists and turns, this book will keep you on edge from start until finish.
Topped with the voice talents of the legendary R.C. Bray, this is one thrill ride you absolutely do not want to miss.

I love RC Bray but...
Not sure he was the best choice for this book. Given the premise of this book and some of RC’s vocalizations, some Characters were too close to Expeditionary Force for my liking. It’s a fun listen but I felt it was a rip off of EF.

Stereotypical characters and predictable events made this book difficult to listen to . If it wasn’t for R.C Bray’s excellent narration I would have turned it off.

Too cliche, too derivative, couldn’t finish
Listen, I like both these authors but this was just not up to par for them. This is supposed to be realistic in terms of the military characters, at least that’s how it seems to be written. I’m not former military but I can tell you that just because you were in, doesn’t mean you’re going to have access to military grade comms equipment, weapons, explosives, etc, when you retire. The protagonist is frustratingly dense in both his reluctance to accept the fact that earth is being invaded by aliens as well as being cliche in his interaction with technology. I’m just a little tired of the “I’m an old man in my thirties/forties and I don’t understand or trust all this new fangled technology that I’ve been living with and around for most of my adult life” trope. Also, there are just too many similarities to other popular contemporary military science fictions out there and borders on the cringy when the “Skippy/Bishop” plot development begins. I’m just disappointed because the meat of this story had the potential to be fun, compelling, and original but got bogged down by what one could call paying tribute and another would call intellectual theft. Sorry friends, try something else.

A thrill ride
Chaney, Hopper, and Bray are a solid mix. I've been reading Chaney's stuff for two years and every series is a home run. This was no different. Great to finally hear Bray's treatment, and boy does he deliver the goods. I'm looking forward to the next one already. In the meantime, I plan to re-listen to Renegade Star.
