Any Given Doomsday

Gladius Leagues, Book 1

Humanity’s last hope is… a combat sports champion?

In the wake of humanity’s great expansion across the stars, war was a thing of the past, and its armies and navies were disbanded. Disputes were settled by the ancient practice of trial by combat in the Gladius Leagues, where elite athletes clad in advanced powered armor fought in front of millions. Their motto was, “We fight so others don’t have to.”

Nick “Warhorse” Landry, star Field Commander of the Foundry Warhawks, was content to live by that code—until everything changed. His home planet fell under a terrifying alien invasion while he was light years away. But when the invasion reaches his current system, humanity has a defense.

Unfortunately, that defense is Warhorse and his team of prima donna athletes. They’re stars of the arena, but they’re woefully unprepared for real war. With the guidance of the last surviving general from the Expansion Wars, these sports heroes are thrust into a battle for survival, and they’ll have to learn fast, or humanity faces total extinction.

Will Warhorse and his crew rise to the occasion—or fall in the final battle for humanity’s future?

If you love high-octane military sci-fi packed with powered armor, explosive action, and a touch of NFL swagger mixed with WWE bravado, Any Given Doomsday is an action-packed adventure you won’t want to miss.

Great Story But Hard to Follow Audio

The story was great, and would make a great movie (or series), but some of the sound processing (such as the distortion for voices over coms) made it really difficult to understand. If this was post processing, I’d go back and remove that distortion. If this was an attempt to make it sound “real to life” — remember that the first objective is for your audience to understand you.

Very Entertaining Story!

I’ve never been a space or techno thriller guy but this book has definitely opened my eyes to the genre. Definitely a page turner for sure and I’m looking forward to the book 2 of this series. Thank You
