Title: Hit & Fade
Series: Forgotten Ruin #2
Author: Jason Anspach & Nick Cole
Rating: 2.5 of 5 Stars
Genre: Military Fantasy
Pages: 274
Words: 97K
The only reason this was better than the first book was because it was over 100 pages shorter and the final battle was awesome without the narrator going “Ranger X is gonna out-Ranger every other Ranger who is Rangering like a REAL Ranger would Ranger, which you would know if you were rangering like a real ranger too, scrub”.
I’m going to give the next book a chance. But if I hit the 50% mark and rangers are still out-rangering all the other rangers, blah, blah, blah, then I’ll dnf the book and the series. Us regular Mil-SF readers don’t got no time for butt licking. We want a good story.

Is that a mountaineer’s pike? Shouldn’t space rangers be better armed?

They’re not space rangers. Just regular rangers. So knives, hatchets, etc are part of their regular gear. Plus, running out of bullets is a thing 10,000 years in the future….

You use a pick-axe for skewering you fondue steak? Must be tough as old boots.

I liked this post purely for how ranger was used in nearly every part of speech. Bravo.

So much rangering about! I’d find that quite annoying to read for pages and pages!

It is wicked annoying. I have a feeling the next book will be my final one in the series.
