About this listen
The fate of humanity rests on a man with nothing to lose.
Former Marine Raider Max Ahlgren trails those responsible for his family's murders to an antiquities dealer in Brazil. When the operation goes south, he must team up with Anna Kedrova, an enigmatic Russian archaeologist with a possible lead on the killers. She reveals a shared enemy: the mysterious and sinister Council of Osiris.
Fighting their way through treacherous jungles and ancient Mayan tombs, Max and Anna follow a trail of bloody clues to the lost city of Zet. At the heart of the ruins lies the Gateway, a legendary artifact that the Council goes to monstrous lengths to locate and exploit. Whoever controls the Gateway determines the fate of the world. Facing an army of mercenaries and a horde of horrific creatures, Max must decide how deep into hell is he willing to go to have his revenge.
Max Ahlgren returns in the internationally best-selling Crucible series. A must-hear for science-fiction and thriller fans alike, Gateway is a runaway freight train of action and suspense!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 116
In war, there is no second place. To ensure victory, planetary governments employ private armies to help fight their battles. And the Berserkers are the best. As the galaxy's preeminent mercenary force, they are hired by governments and corporations to do jobs that are too tough, too messy, or too deadly for their own forces. Expertly trained and equipped with the most advanced weaponry, they are willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill a contract - if the price is right.

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

an 80s action movie romp
I love the Max Ahlgren series. It's fun and dripping in testosterone. Not terribly "woke" in any way but a really fun ride if you like Schwarzenegger movies 😀

Far better than the last story.
I'd like to preface this book as far better than the last one. this one had a decent length the characters felt more fleshed out and as normal Mac kicked ass. The only issues I found were pacing, at some points it felt too short and others felt too drawn out, that being said this was a worthy sequel and definitely worth the credit.
