Old Guns: A Military Sci-Fi Adventure

Old Guns, Book 1

De: J. N. Chaney, Nicholas Sansbury Smith

Narrado por: R. C. Bray

They're too old for this fight... but they're the only ones left standing.

When the Colonial Shield Federation needs someone to face an ancient alien threat, they don't call their best; they call the only two Marines who survived first contact. Problem is, a decade of hard living has taken its toll on Frank Cage and Martin Kelvin. Frank has spent the last ten years drowning his memories in whiskey and starting bar fights, while Martin walks around on a cybernetic leg, tending his garden and trying to forget the past.

But their retirement comes to an abrupt end when a military transport arrives, crushing Martin's prized tomatoes and bringing orders that can't be refused. It seems the Hollow have returned...

Forced back into now-outdated power armor and paired with a squad of combat-tested scientists who think they know the enemy better than the people who fought them do, these two grizzled veterans must face something far worse than death.

Because the Hollow don't just kill; they collect. In the depths of a long-buried facility, Frank and Martin will quickly find out if they still have what it takes to survive—and what it will truly cost them.

The first book in this high-octane military sci-fi saga marks the explosive start of an exciting collaboration between USA Today-bestselling author J.N. Chaney and New York Times-bestselling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith that's perfect for fans of Expeditionary Force and Undying Mercenaries.

Here for NSS

I’ve never read Chaney, but I showed up for NSS and wasn’t disappointed at all! NSS never misses.

Intense story!

Well written , well narrated and just fun story about 2 old farts trying to save humanity. Looking forward to the next story!

Fantastic!

What a great story—absolutely enthralling and with bust-out-laughing moments. Fascinating alien and classic space marine romp. Looking forward to the next installment!

Excellent new series

Two of my favorite authors combined. I mean, what’s not to like!! I really enjoyed getting yo know these new characters and storyline . I hope this series goes a long long time.

Two Great Tastes, Taste Great Together

I enjoy J.N. Chaney's creative plots and N. Sansbury Smith's gritty detail. Started listening yesterday, and, after two hours, I was already looking to see when book two will be released. These two Mil Sci-Fi vets avoid the clichéd tropes/characters for a refreshingly new story!
