Publisher's summary

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.

Darker Than Expected

I love the stuff from WarGate Books but this one definitely takes a very dark turn right out the gate compared to some of the other stuff from them. There is definitely a strong horror edge to this series. otherwise in general though really enjoyed Doomsday Recon and cannot recommend it highly enough.

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.

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.

Buckle up buttercup, cause you're going for a ride

Doomsday Recon is a hardcore awesome Military scifi-horror story. From the very first chapter it grabbed my attention. I found it to be a great mix of action, monsters, snarky little gremlin trolls(Love ya Epasotl!), gritty battle, and the aftermath the solders have to deal with after so much violence. All interwoven in such a way that you're going feel it to the bone.

It's narrated by Mark Boyett, and let me tell you, he did an outstanding job of bringing this story to life!

Neat!

Oddly enough, I recently listened to an Audible book about the Aztecs. This was a neat adaptation and blending of the Aztec lore with the modern world. I look forward to the next chapter of this series.
