Doomsday Recon

Doomsday Recon, Book 1

De: Jason Anspach, Ryan Williamson

Narrado por: Mark Boyett

U.S. Cav Trooper Nephi Bennett's Humvee went from Panama to hell in the blink of an eye. Now, he needs to find his way back home—if he can live that long.

The year is 1989. America has just invaded Noriega's Panama. And Specialist Bennett's platoon of Cav Scouts are in country… with, frankly, not a whole lot to do.

Until a freak rainstorm somehow transports the entire platoon—Humvees, weapons, and all—to another world. A world controlled by a wicked Aztec god. The Land of the Black Sun.

In a heartbeat, the Scouts find themselves fighting for their lives against savage beasts, witches, zombies, subhuman tribes seeking sacrifices… and even themselves. Fuel runs low, ammo grows scarce, and their only allies are a tribe of all-female warriors and a single fledgling sorceress with a decidedly mean streak.

But the fun has only just begun. Things in the Land of the Black Sun are about to become far more dangerous than Specialist Bennett could have ever imagined. For an ancient evil awaits…

…and Bennett and his fellow Cav troopers will meet it with blood and steel.

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with Associated Press bestselling author Jason Anspach and Ryan Williamson in this brand-new military fantasy series. If you're a fan of modern warriors and weapons laying the hate on the armies of ancient evil, this is just the story you've been waiting for.

The boys did it again!!

Again not disappointed with Anspach and crew. Can’t wait for the next book!! Bring it on!! Story flowed so nicely and the character building was awesome.

FANTASTIC!!!!!

This was one of if not the best audiobook I’ve listened to in years. The story was fast paced, the characters rich and fun, but, the narration was amazing! I’ve listened to hundreds and Marks work on this one really was fantastic! Congratulations and I can’t wait for the next one!!!!

really enjoyed the story

story was engaging from the start, the audiobook performance was fantastic. this was my first military sci fi story but I really liked it

Dark magic vs 7.62x51mm

Good story. Very enjoyable overall looking forward to more in the future. Remember 5.56 is insufficient for kill abominations in the land of the dark sun.

Great story and great delivery

This was excellent, and I can’t wait for the next book. The narrator manages what seems like a dozen different voices and handles the difficult Aztec names perfectly.

When in doubt, kill it with fire

The book was an exciting romp through a number of tropes, I wish we had gotten to see more wild creatures in this Elseworld mishmash of times but maybe the next installment will scratch that itch for me.

liked it well enough

Im actually a bit of a fan of the fact that there seems to be a number of characters that work with and exist with the protag but also cause friction. The military isn't a monolith, except when it comes to bad guys.

Great Military Fantasy from WarGate Books' Vets

The premise of an elite group of soldiers from the 80's transported into an Aztec fantasy full of violence and survival strategy made this a quick buy for me. I really enjoyed the characters and how the authors kept them relevant beyond just name and rank. The magic elements are fantastic and surprising beyond the ceiling I expected. Humor in one-liners and the likable personalities kept the book from being too action-oriented, though the military combat is the meat and potatoes. Our Preacher character is my favorite, though many of the aliens were also endearing and fascinating.
Doomsday Recon is an outstanding read, with a narration by Mark Boyett among his best. If you're curious at all, pick it up and delight in the many outstanding surprises to come.

Excellent Read/Listen

I enjoyed everything about this story. The characters were well written. The people and animals are well thought out. The story flows well.
I can’t wait for the next book. I hope it goes beyond the two books. I would enjoy a 10, 15 or 20 book series.

Consistent Surprise

Great book! Loved the content, characters and the story line. Only thing I would change is how quickly the story moves….there were certain times I wish it spent a little bit longer on before moving to the next crazy thing.
