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.

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 ^^

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.

interestin story if not already done by Exp Force!

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!

Great Story.

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!

I thought when it started omg this is Stargate

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 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Excellent book and a fan of them all!

I could write a whole thing on the differences between this and another series I love but that would spoil things for you. Besides, any similarities simply highlight that I enjoy books written by grade A authors and will continue to buy their books. I will tell you that I thought the story was well written and well performed. The book had me hooked from start to finish and made me feel a raft of emotion. Thoroughly enjoyed and I've already purchased the next in the series.

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.
