Publisher's summary

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 narrator takes some getting used to

it's jarring to go from rc bray to the new guy, but it's understandable how the best narrators can have booked schedules. it took about two chapters for the new narrator to get into the groove, but afterwards it was a decent listen

Adjusted to new narrator and was happy I did

Yet another enjoyable installment in the fight to rescue humanity! I initially missed RC Bray, but after about 1/4 of the book adjusting my ears, I found the new narrator did an excellent job. Full marks, keep em coming!

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.

The narrator change

Hate when there's a change of narrator, but understand, and he was closer than most. Non-stop action as always. New narrator does a good job, not R.C. Brey, but does a well enough likeness. By the end it wasn't noticeable.

No RC Bray. What a difference and not in a good way!

It’s amazing how important the narrator is. Coming from RC Bray, this has suddenly gone from a series that I couldn’t put down to a story I’m having a hard time finishing. Same writer, same characters, TOTALLY different feel. If you know you know…

Changed out Narrator for last two books

Not sure why they changed out the narrator. Hard to tell who’s speaking as the whole dynamic has changed. Not happy!

Narrator Change

The narrator change is still a-bit much, have not grown used to the change in voices, but it’s understandable.
