Publisher's summary

For the Rangers, the best defense is always...more offense.

As an overwhelming army of skeletons, wraiths, ghouls, and other dark creatures - all serving a powerful undead sorcerer - advance against Forward Operating Base Hawthorn, the Rangers must now do what they do best: Go on the extreme offense.

It’s time to Hit and Fade. Attack, withdraw, and outmaneuver the enemy.

PFC Talker, attached to the weapons team section of a Ranger recon patrol led by Captain Knife Hand, recounts the harrowing attempt to destabilize this surreal and horrific nightmare force with everything the snipers, master breachers, and stone-cold killers of the Ranger regiment have in their bag of lethal tricks.

Abating, channelizing, and leading the enemy into a series of devastating traps involving everything from kinetically violent ambushes to immensely explosive crater munitions, the Rangers strike at the enemy as death personified, fading like ghosts only when the dead are dead once again.

When facing Rangers, even nightmares are afraid.

Purchase this action-packed second installment in the Forgotten Ruin series today!

Love it

Unlike most books, I seem to lack the ability to stop listening. as soon as this story started I could not get enough. The world building in this series is some of my favorite and the main character Talker is relatable to a non vet like me when he goes into his mild case of imposter syndrome. I think talker is in my top 5 main characters of any series, he's a GOOD person you just can't help but root for. it's hard to come up with criticism for this book on my end, if you are like me and enjoy the Jason/Nick action storytelling you should enjoy this book and I reccomend it.


Also good job to narration, I legitimately forget it is the same guy narrating at points.

Fun!

Loved the story and the performance of the voice actor. Great fun with a mash up of all the goodness that is science fiction and fantasy fun.

it was good but got annoyed by coffee

I don't have much to say on the negative other than I got legit annoyed hearing about coffee addiction... and that's coming from a coffee shop owner.

Excellent

Anspach and Cole knock it out of the park again with this book. By the way, it is obvious the coffee haters were never smoked while pulling security in either a patrol base, ORP, or other character-building exercise. Coffee is life, do not hate, appreciate.

A SOLID FOLLOW-UP!

Enjoyed ever minute of it. Totally refreshing and enjoyable throughout. The narrator makes it too. Now I just have to wait for the next three (3) books to be produced and posted on audible.

WOW

Phenomenal performance, amazing story.
Loved every second of this book, and will be recommending it to all my friends.
The rangers are back with a vengeance, and they give a whole new meaning to No Fail.

Solid

I have enjoyed the first two books. The concept of Rangers vs. Dungeons and Dragons excellent. I love Talker and the characters. As much as I love the Rangers and have great respect for them I could go for less talk about the Rangers as a concept. Some sure, but we get it by now. They are bad ass and deliver the hate with maximum violence and firepower. No need to keep restating it over and over. Despite that I completely enjoyed the story and it is very unique. Overall great stuff.
