Forgotten Ruin

An Epic Military Fantasy Thriller

De: Jason Anspach, Nick Cole

Narrado por: Christopher Ryan Grant

Tolkien meets Shock and Awe

Orcs. Trolls. Wraith riders. Dark wizards. Together, they form an unstoppable force. Or so they thought.

Dark Army...meet the US Army Rangers.

When a Joint Task Force of elite Rangers are transported to a strange and fantastic future where science and evolution have incarnated the evils of myth and legend, they find themselves surrounded, pinned down, and in a desperate fight for their very survival - against nightmares of flesh and blood made real. Which means only one thing.

It’s time to Ranger up and stack bodies.

The forces of evil have no idea how dangerous a Ranger has been trained to be, and once the action starts, it won’t let up in this no-holds-barred, full-auto, epic battle for survival in the Forgotten Ruin.

From the creators of Galaxy's Edge....

Buy in, and jock up for this thrilling WarGate adventure. A battle unlike any other is calling.

Can't decide between Military Sci-Fi or Fantasy?

Well, here's the solution to your conundrum. Told from the POV of some hardcore Rangers (as if there were any other kind), this story is the start of another great series from Anspach and Cole. Instead of fighting amazing aliens and twisted sci-fi humans, now we're taking on the magical and the bizarre (happily, the 240 cares not when it's angry and cyclic).

And when they run out of ammo, that's when a Ranger PFC gets to use a magic staff to channel their inner Harry Dresden and really go to town on the baddies. I mean, what's not to love?

Just like their excellent Galaxy's Edge series, the characters are all relatable and identifiable if you've spent anytime in the military (or just been around your share of military personnel). Perhaps they wanted to throw a bone to us nerd POGs, because the main character is a linguist who finds himself playing Ranger alongside the "real" hardcores and that makes me cheer for him all the harder. (Even if he breezed through DLI.)

Also true to form, the book is perfectly fine as a stand alone novel, but the authors already have book two coming. So unlike some authors with three initials and too many HBO deals, you don't have to worry about running out of entertainment or not getting sufficient bang for your buck (and resolution to the plot)!

These authors are on my "buy immediately" list for Audible and my Kindle. You might not end up enjoying their books quite as much as I do, but if you take the chance on them I bet at the very least you'll have a blast!

Wow! Great book!

Couldn’t stop listening to this book. One of the most creative and imaginative books I’ve listened to in years. Well worth the credit. Can’t wait for book 2.

When Rangers fight for Rivendell!!

Awesome Concepts!! and perfectly executed along with many an antagonist!

the diversity of skill and plot Jason and Nick possess will insure many many fantastic hours of listening and reading!!

Rangers lead the way. Action packed and funny

really enjoyed this book, this is for those of us who always wondered what an M249 would have done to charging Orcs. or what effect indirect mortar fire would have had on nazgul.

Imagine Blackhawk down but based in the lord of the rings with a touch and sprinkle of exotic monsters thrown in.

Great story!

Anspach and Cole deliver again. Mr Grant did a wonderful job with the narration. I can’t wait to hear more.
