Ruins of the Earth

Ruins of the Earth, Book 1

By: Christopher Hopper, J. N. Chaney

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

A secret buried in the Antarctic. A puzzle unsolved for thousands of years.

And a Brooklyn-born master gunnery sergeant who's royally pissed that he has to babysit the researchers sent to figure it all out. Patrick "Wic" Finnegan's last op as a Marine Raider before retirement sends him to the frozen Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands. The only reason he's here? He owes a favor to an old friend, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

When Wic finally sees what the team has uncovered, he can't believe his eyes, nor is he prepared for the violence to come. Soon, the portal opens and unleashes a storm of unbridled fury upon humanity.

From the Antarctic tundra to the streets of Manhattan, Wic and his team will be pushed to their limits as they fight to hold back Earth's ultimate threat. The odds are against them. Governments are toppling. And the Earth is falling into ruin.

Join best-selling authors Christopher Hopper and J.N. Chaney on what audiences call a "nonstop, break-neck thrill ride into metaspace". For fans of District 9, Expeditionary Force, and Galaxy's Edge, this is one military sci-fi thriller you won't be able to put down, and the official beginning to the hit series Ruins of the Galaxy.

spaceballs meets predator

Total spoof on other storys. Thought it would be terrible but enjoyed every part. Its like alien vs predator mashed with spaceballs and recast a Marine platoon as the crew of the milenium falcon and hired Mel Brooks to direct the movie. Loved It! And added William Shatner and Lenord Nemoy to throw in to the mix after hiring John Cleese to be the voice of the computer on the Enterprise

Awesome

This is the Best read, moves fluently and has laughs as well as drama... Sir Charles a nut!

Different but fun and very interesting.

Great take on emp. Fantasy. And military. Lord Charles is my favorite. Worth the time and makes you want part 2.

Really awesome

Great story! Incredibly well read. Looking forward to more in this series! Thirteen fourteen fifteen.

Great Book

The narrator is RC Bray so enough said. This book does not have a lot of new ideas in it but I still enjoyed it thoroughly and will be reading the next. It starts out with stargate, then your standard any book world take over, then its skippy down to hold my beer. If you don't know skippy I'm sorry. Skippy got stretched through to many books so when it was introduced in this book as a different device it made the book.

Great Adventure

Though at times I felt my mind was conjuring up the “little beer can” from another series, this new adventure from different authors is worth the time and commitment to listen. Wonderfully narrated and smartly scripted, it provides the necessary distraction to daily life and conjures up the creative juices better than most movies on the screen these days. Ready to listen to book 2!!

Wow

A great story and great narrator. Hopper and Chaney have another hit. Can’t wait for more.

Loved this!! Action packed and funny as hell!

I enjoyed this to the extreme, and learned a few things on the journey. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series!

Excellent story and performance

Of course this book is worth listening to if you like military space sci-fi. There are some clear references to other stories such as the pompous British AI. So it’s not totally fresh, but definitely rocks. Last 12 minutes are unique.

Great fun!

OK so yeah there are some derivative elements (star gates and Skippy anyone?) and it doesn't help that Bray reads it but who cares? Brass an excellent reader and it's fun and the storyline is intriguing. Can't wait for the sequel(s)!
