Valley of the Dead

Ruins of the Earth, Book 5

De: Christopher Hopper, J.N. Chaney

Narrado por: Christopher Ryan Grant

There's no going back to Earth. The only way forward is through hell.

After the explosive events surrounding MPF6's destruction on Karkin Four, Wic and his team of daredevil operators join forces with the rebel force known as the Blood Guard. While the Phantoms desire to help relocate human refugees to safer worlds, they're forced to confront a more pressing objective: cut off the head of the beast and keep the Androchidan Empire from enslaving another world.

Wic is immediately flung into the heat of battle, driven by retaliation, a need for justice, and the need to send a message to all other deviant species who'd wish to take advantage of the innocent: don't even think about it.

However, when a convert mission goes sideways, and key Blood Guard operatives turn up missing, Phantom Team must decide just how far they're willing to go to stop an alien species from wreaking havoc in the galaxy.

Tensions mount as the empire's high command closes in for the kill. Lies spread, secrets abound, and betrayal runs like blood in the streets. Will Sir Chuck provide critical intel in time to save the team? Can Wic pull one more hat trick against a world-conquering foe?

Find out in Valley of the Dead, the fifth nail-biting, white-knuckle episode of the acclaimed Ruins of the Earth series by Christopher Hopper and J.N. Chaney.

new and extremely lacking narrator bring back r.c. brey

Disliked the new narrator immensely. voices were horrible especially for the talking gun chuck who was supposed to sound like John Cleese.not even close. took so much longer to get through this episode because it just wasn't as exciting, or entertaining. very very disappointing. probably will end buying any more from this once really good saga. unless they find a better narrator.

Great addition to story arc, Bad narrator.

The story itself sets off right where the last left, and continued on. It continues the narrative and compliments the other three.

Of it wasn't for having spent the time listening to the first ones, I wouldn't have continued due to the narrator. the voices were not good at all, and very hard to distinguish from one another. The entire performance was monotoned and lacked any real emotion for what's supposed to be a riveting Space Military Opera.

obviously, I'll continue with theast book in the series, but I will be doing my best to stay away from this narrator.

good set of books

I'm not saying the narrator is a bad narrator, but you started the series with one narrator and now you chang narrators. It's like changing the movie stars in a sequel in a movie. It changes everything. I'm sorry, I feel like that was a bad move, the story wasn't the same with a different voice.

The fact that RC Bray was not the reader was very disappointing.

The first four books in the series were read by RC Bray. You got to know the characters you got to know their voices. When I listen to the book 5, and it was read by a different person it changed the whole character of the book I was really disappointed that RC Brad did not narrate this particular book.

An adjustment-but well worth it!

No RC Bray, but once you ADAPT, you realize that it’s the authors and their skilled story line and character development that keep bringing you back-a thrilling listen that will be thoroughly enjoyed-now, if this change up was attempted with Expeditionary Force, which is much deeper into its story (and which this series owes MUCH!), I’m not sure it would be as easy to adjust to-
