The War Begins…

The world of Ruin erupts into the flames of war as a great evil rises once more from the Tombs of Eternal Midnight. Werewolves and vampires march from the east, the orcs of Umnoth are on the move, and cities disappear beneath the boots of these savage hordes. Kingdoms field desperate armies in a last desperate bid to stop the tides of darkness, but the truth is clear.

The hour of final ruin has come.

Yet the wizard Vandahar has one more card to play: Rangers. Allied with elves and dwarves, they set out to strike at the very heart of the evil Lich Pharaoh’s domain by attacking from a wholly unexpected direction.

Survival. Asymmetrical warfare. Total surprise. This is what the Rangers do best.

But first they must survive the Citadel.

What the forces of evil have started, the Rangers will finish!

Beginning to look TOO much like "The Black Company" by Glen Cook.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

I really did enjoy all of these books so far. This was the first one that I gave 4 stars to instead of 5 due to several things:

First of all this series was always very, very similar to "The Black Company". Now it has followed almost too close as our narrator has disappeared just like Croaker in "The Black Company".

Secondly, this installment of the series was too short and very dis-jointed. Barely over 200 pages isn't even a novel. Sort of seemed like the authors need to make a car payment.

Thirdly, the story was kind of jumbled up with Talker going off on tangents a lot and then having the big explanation of what happened at the Purple Abyss happen just before the big fight really broke the action.

However! It is still carrying on a good story and I will get the next book when it comes out. Based upon the revealed title of the next book and the lack of "smell" of the dead by Tanner at the end of this volume, I believe that we might see our narrator and Sgt. Joe again. Plus, I understood (maybe a little too well) the whole thing that happened to Talker in the Purple Abyss. Young, heartsick, and lonesome sailors are not immune to what afflicted Talker there. Its an old story to everyone but them. Keep writing guys and put your backs into for the next book! We will be waiting.

Cracked me up and enjoyed the ride

I have never met a character more aptly named than Talker. He wasn’t my favorite through, (because he just talks too damn much) my favorite characters are SGM Stone, Tanner, and CPT Knifehand, but Tanner was hands down my favorite. Reminds me of a bro I served with...actually a couple of bro’s. You’d be surprised how many young soldiers fall in love with strippers..... :-)
I read books 3 & 4 one after the other and in my opinion, that matters to very few, book 4 was 10/10. Knocked it out of the park. The fact these 3 bros nailed the Army vernacular (fancy word for not dicking up all the weapons, tactics and even ammo terminology), makes these 3 brothers a definite cut above the best, and their portrayal of the SEAL was pure serendipitous joy. Spot on and exactly like I would have played it. Perfect.

However I do get case of the ass the size of a pallet of 40 Mike Mike when I get so into a book and then BOOOOOOM!!!! It ends. Yeah I’m Army but I know books do eventfully have to end, but the ones that keep me engaged and laughing and remembering my own similar experiences (not in the future in case you were wondering) made me want to keep reading. Now that I’m updating this review to remove the accidental use of the word “naked”, Rangers - next time if you’re gonna have CPT Knifehand issue an OPORD, of the magnitude that he and SGM Stone pushed out, at least complete the execution phase of said OPORD and complete the mission!! Y’all best be working on Book 5 or you’re gonna be seeing green eyes in the middle of the night!!!!
Well done brothers!

How Do You Fix the Forgotten Ruin? You Go Out And Kill the Bad Guys.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

Authors Anspach and Cole have once again collaborated on another smashing adventure in the Forgotten Ruin series. Every book brings more character development and understanding of what is going on and what makes these guys tick. Hint: Copenhagen and Hate are a Ranger's best friend. This book begins the counter-attack by Captain Knifehand and his merry band of twisted killers against the evil powers in this fallen future world. There are twists and turns a-plenty for everyone. You will not see the end coming. Get this book and read it. You will be drawn into the action. Chances are you will want to go out and buy a tomahawk and then take your rifle to the range in order to not embarrass yourself. Ruck up and get your Ranger on. As I said in my review of the first book, "The best way I can describe it is a base of Tolkein, a sprig of Dragonlance, a strong essence of DnD, finished with a perfect topping of Clancy or Kratman." Read this book now, it will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Fix Bayonets! RLTW

Better than I expected.

The story has my attention & I enjoy every minute. Talker is a total character; like someone you know & wish you could be. His life revolves around being a Ranger now; unlike in the beginning when he was processed quickly to fill the need of the Operation to Save the World. Talker is one-of-a-kind. Great story.

Enjoyable Action and Page Turner!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2022

Ok! Not your typical war, killing, fighting story! 10,000 years forwards of their time line and life has become Hobbit, Dungeons and Dragons in a crazy way!
Talker, the "writer" of their, the Rangers, life in this future time period they will never return from, tells a page turning account of how the Rangers lay the hate on evil they have never dreamed of seeing, let alone actually fighting against!
I highly recommend delving into this series and have your brain shaken by a true Science Fiction like none I have ever read before!!

Once again, I finish an epic novel by Anspach and Cole and feel angry. Not angry at the authors or the story development or even the characters.
I am angry the next one is not out yet. I could never get into reading comics because I hated waiting until the next month to read the next one. This is so much worse. Talker, Tanner, Thor, Rapp and Knife Hand are all characters I just want to keep reading about all the time. Now I am hooked and have to wait months for the next installment.

If you like military sci-fi, fantasy, or even underdog stories then you will enjoy this series. Hell, even if you like the Game of Thrones tv show but couldn't make it through the first book because of the pace or the thousand different characters, this series is for you. Just buy the book and read it. You will like it.

I like the series but...
I get it the first time I'm told. Telling me four or more time in slightly different words just pisses me off. Also temps me to flip pages. Were one or more of the authors instructors? That would explain it. (E1-E7, O1-O5 26 yrs USN)
Didn't care for the SEAL character much. Should have been USAF.

Still good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 21, 2021

The edge is off the story this time around. The plot meanders, and loses itself by repeating ways that have been described before in a scenario that didn't match tjose that went before.

Great, fresh spin on a couple of classic genres rolled into one.

If I was going to complain about anything it's that the books always leave me wanting more. :)
