WarGate Books sent a release announcing the latest in their Forgotten Ruin series of novels. Because of the unique way they phrased things, we’ll just let you read it in their words in its entirety.
Scroll on down and we’ll give you a few excerpts.
Something to know before you get started: Amazon’s marketing department is now shadow-banning indie authors with “violent content” on the cover (guns, swords, combat, etc.: more on that here). Big-name authors like Jack Carr haven’t been impacted yet (that WarGate is aware of), but individual writers and small publishing houses like WB very much have been. They cannot run ads on Amazon Marketing Solutions on affected novels, and some books are no longer searchable by the author’s name. You can’t find them unless you know the specific title of the individual book. Sound familiar?
SGT. THOR and MJÖLNIR ROCK THE RUIN
For Immediate Release
Area 51, God Only Knows When
Bring it in; take a knee. WarGate Books is proud to announce Sgt. Thor’s imminent raid on the Ruin, Sua Sponte solo style.
This won’t matter to you if you prefer anemic military science fiction, effete protagonists, lackluster action, or peace. If, however, you appreciate a side of carnage to go with your violence of action, then you’re going to want to read on.
BLUF: An indie book company with a stable-full of combat veteran writers and best-selling authors is launching a new book line. You should back them on Kickstarter.
Who is Sgt. Thor? He’s what would happen if Conan completed Ranger School, got tabbed and scrolled, and carried a .50 AMR named Mjölnir on his adventures. He’s the guy who changed his name and his religious affiliation so he could grow a beard, then went full Viking. You know, the former surfer with the Glock 17, matched tomahawks, and Thor Score: The Regimental high score for stacking monstrous bodies.
What is the Forgotten Ruin? It’s an ancient, murderous future. It’s four hundred generations from now, the wreck of a world Ruined by a nano-plague. It’s a place stalked by hideous creatures and haunted by fiends. It’s the place a company of Rangers with attachments and augments find themselves going shock and awesome on a series of HVTs straight out of a Tolkien novel or D&D campaign.
What about WarGate Books? They’re this world’s source for the acclaimed Galaxy’s Edge, The Lost, Warlord¸ Splashdown, and of course Forgotten Ruin series of novels. They have entirely reimagined military science fiction.
Excerpt from the Forgotten Ruin series…
“Never is enough,” said the only guy in the detachment with a beard [discussing a lack of ammunition]. He’s the only tabbed Ranger who is generally tolerant of my non-Ranger presence.
Everyone calls him Thor, and not just because it’s what’s on his issue nametag. The man could probably go to Hollywood and get cast playing Thor’s double in one of those superhero movies. That is, if he weren’t here with us about to die in the big mystery that is this bizarre place of orc hordes storming the sandy beaches along the riverbanks in the night.
Now Thor is looking through his scope at the approaching horde. As far as Rangers go, Thor’s one of their best snipers. And that’s really saying something in sniper world.
Anspach, Jason; Cole, Nick. Forgotten Ruin (Forgotten Ruin series book 1)
Rangers gonna Ranger, whether they’re killing bad guys in dirty manjams or orcs in rusted armor.
“The Ranger tab is just a leadership school. The scroll is a way of life.” Sgt. Thor
