Publisher's Summary

The mission is simple. Escort an emissary to an intergalactic peace summit. Try not to get in the way.

Lt. Magnus and his 79th Recon Team have certainly handled worse, after all.

But when an explosion rocks the tower and sends everyone into a panic, Magnus and his asset find themselves cut off from the rest of the team.

Worse still, a dying alien chieftain gives them a priceless drive of intel, marking them for death.

The mission has officially changed.

With enemies on all sides, Magnus must do everything in his power to protect the emissary and escape the tower. There is no backup. There is no chance for failure.

The fate of the entire galaxy now lies in the hands of a Republic Marine and a diplomat.

All they have to do is survive.

Experience the beginning of this sprawling galactic tale in this first entry to the Ruins of the Galaxy series. If you’re a fan of Star Wars, Galaxy’s Edge, or Battlestar Galactica, you'll love this military sci-fi epic.

Includes bonus Ruins of the Galaxy stories "The Night of Fire" and "Demons at War".

Bloody excellent

If you’re waiting for more from the Galaxy’s Edge series then fill the void with this series.

Those familiar with the GE story will find similarities in the plot, language and tempo, highlighted by RC Bray’s awesome narration. But as a fan I didn’t find it off putting or discouraging in the least.
The universe is well thought out, the action keeps coming, the intrigue grabs and nothing felt like a labour to listen through.

I highly recommend this for sci-fi fans, especially anyone who likes Star Wars.

Action and Unexpected enjoyment

While I was disappointed at the sudden end to the book and the next book months away from release. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the characters are real and RC Bray brings them to life as visceral as always.
Listen to the end! Brilliant!

Absolutely fantastic!

One of the reviews mentioned it’s a cross of Military Sci-fi and Star Wars and they were right.

I enjoyed this far more than I had thought. Cannot wait for the rest of the series 👍

Great Listen

The Good:

Let’s just start with this is a great listen.

The story is not exactly fresh as it is similar to GE, but it’s got me hooked. Although fresh is not easy with the swathes of SciFi/MilSciFi out there. But.. it’s my new go to in between GE releases.

It’s brilliant in that it doesn’t go into the existential rambling of the mid/later GE series. It sticks to its story and it’s a great ride.

Characters are well developed and likeable too.

Give it a listen!

The Bad/Ugly:

Nothing yet other than slightly similar names from another certain series.

Don’t let us down Hopper you’ve started strong. Keep it up!

Very listenable

RC Bray was the usual solid performance and dragged it up to 4 Stars. Having said that as a first book for the author it is a very polished effort. looking forward to reading more to see the author, Christopher Hopper, as well as the story develop and mature.
