Summary

Tolkien meets Shock and Awe

Orcs. Trolls. Wraith riders. Dark wizards. Together, they form an unstoppable force. Or so they thought.

Dark Army...meet the US Army Rangers.

When a Joint Task Force of elite Rangers are transported to a strange and fantastic future where science and evolution have incarnated the evils of myth and legend, they find themselves surrounded, pinned down, and in a desperate fight for their very survival - against nightmares of flesh and blood made real. Which means only one thing.

It’s time to Ranger up and stack bodies.

The forces of evil have no idea how dangerous a Ranger has been trained to be, and once the action starts, it won’t let up in this no-holds-barred, full-auto, epic battle for survival in the Forgotten Ruin.

From the creators of Galaxy's Edge....

Buy in, and jock up for this thrilling WarGate adventure. A battle unlike any other is calling.

Rangers rangering rangerly

A great adventure, narrated with mixed competence, but that may have been down to the script. narrator does do excellent voices for the characters, his Gandalf is pretty good.

The bad is the sheer lack of brevity. "Hey guys, remember how we're Rangers and we do ranger things?" The same information is hammered home every few chapters and several times I found myself yelling 'yeah, I got it bro. Ranger can be used as a verb. funny. Now tell a different joke!'

But otherwise, this is worth a gander if you are patient with it.

Seriously enjoyable

This was fun. A spec ops / middle earth mashup. Excellent story arc, good characterisation, likeable protagonist, interesting narrative structure and a superb vocal performance. Hurry up volume 2!

I'm a fan

I came across the books of Anspach et al by chance and I have to say I'm a fan as other reviews have mentioned it's Lord of the Rings meets We were soldiers.
No story reveals just get a copy you won't be disappointed, roll on the next instalment.

Coffee, Orcs and US Rangers RAH. You feel me!

The way it caught you at the beginning and you were not quite sure where it would take you. It was literally 3 big stories in one and required a lot of coffee.
