Failure lies around all the blind corners and damnation down every dark alley in this desperate bid to save civilization from the forces of a darkness beyond imagining.
The Ruin is a very dark place…

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.
For the Rangers, the best defense is always...more offense.
As an overwhelming army of skeletons, wraiths, ghouls, and other dark creatures - all serving a powerful undead sorcerer - advance against Forward Operating Base Hawthorn, the Rangers must now do what they do best: Go on the extreme offense.
It’s time to Hit and Fade. Attack, withdraw, and outmaneuver the enemy.
PFC Talker, attached to the weapons team section of a Ranger recon patrol led by Captain Knife Hand, recounts the harrowing attempt to destabilize this surreal and horrific nightmare force with everything the snipers, master breachers, and stone-cold killers of the Ranger regiment have in their bag of lethal tricks.
Abating, channelizing, and leading the enemy into a series of devastating traps involving everything from kinetically violent ambushes to immensely explosive crater munitions, the Rangers strike at the enemy as death personified, fading like ghosts only when the dead are dead once again.
When facing Rangers, even nightmares are afraid.

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!

Speed, surprise, and aggression... Hit on Jackpot is go.
The scourge of the Savage Lands, an ancient dragon allied to a gathering storm of dark forces threatening the world of Ruin, becomes the next target of the most fearsome shock troops ever conceived, prepared, and trained for total war: US Army Rangers.
Deep beneath a once-fantastic ruined empire, a creature more terrible, diabolical, and malevolent than any myth ever told lies atop a vast horde of wondrous treasure and deadly magic, dreaming dreams of greed and terror. The Rangers of the Ruin will thread the dangerous trap-laden depths of a deadly desolation sinking into a foul swamp in order to get their hit on the ancient prize.
But be warned, the fight you pick with Rangers is going to be the last fight you pick.

A laugh-out-loud communist-punching adventure!
Sam Rockwell came home from the Second World War to work as a fledgling private investigator specializing in helping "Returns": recently deceased ghosts who've come back with unfinished business. Short on experience and long on the imitated swagger of the detectives found in his dog-eared collection of pulp fiction P.I. mysteries, the quick-witted Sam waits for his big break-and his chance to win the heart of Amelia, his Girl Friday.
But when his no-nonsense father is murdered and becomes a Return himself, everything changes. Sam sets out to find his father's killer, only to find himself caught up in a madcap game of Cold War intrigue.
Humorous and hard-boiled, 'til Death is a witty, feel-good throwback to the golden age of Hollywood noir.
Wisecracking Private Detective Sam Rockwell is running for his life, but that doesn't keep him from taking the case of a Return who's slipped past Heaven's radar and overstayed his time on earth. Together with his fiance, Amelia, Sam brawls and dances his way through San Francisco to unravel a zany mystery where nothing is what it seems at first blush.
The laughs and silver screen thrills of Jason Anspach's signature 1950s Cold War tale of Hollywood noire are back in this madcap sequel as Sam and Amelia return once again to right wrongs, solve crimes, send the dead off to their proper eternity, and maybe, set a date for their wedding!
When local baseball player Junior Jones receives death threats over the color of his skin, the team's wealthy owner hires Sam Rockwell to solve the case and stop a murder before it happens. Sam goes undercover as a minor league pitcher to strike out the culprit. Follow the clues along with Sam's curmudgeonly ghost of a father Frank Rockwell, and Sam's wife Amelia, who holds a secret that will forever change the lives of the entire Rockwell family.
It's another laugh-filled, madcap mystery in the warm, witty 1950's Hollywood-style of author Jason Anspach.
Die Galaxie ist ein brennender Müllcontainer.
Ein heifler, stinkender, brennender Müllcontainer. Und die meiste Zeit weifl ich nicht, ob die Legionäre diese Flammen löschen oder erst recht zu einem wahren Inferno anfachen.
Während eines Aufklärung Einsatzes Während eines Aufklärung Einsatzes tief im feindlichen Gebiet geht die Victory Company in einen Hinterhalt. Ein Sergeant muss eine Gruppe von überlebenden anführen, gegen gnadenlose Aufständische, weit hinter den feindlichen Linien und auf einer tödliches fremdes Welt irgendwo am Rande der Galaxie. Die Eliteeinheit der Republik darf sich keine Fehler erlauben und muss eine Belagerung¸ berstehen in der Hoffnung auf eine Rettung, die sie vielleicht nicht mehr erleben wird.
Schliefl Dich der Victory Company in ihrem berlebenskampf an. Wenn du glaubst, dass du die Legion umzingelt hast, hast du vielleicht deinen letzten Fehler begangen.
Aus dem Englischen von Marcel Aubron-Bülles
Orks. Trolle. Geisterreiter. Dunkle Zauberer. Zusammen bilden sie eine unaufhaltsame Macht. Zumindest dachten sie das.
Dunkle Armee, dürfen wir vorstellen: die U.S. Army Ranger.
Als eine gemeinsame Task Force von Elitesoldaten in eine bizarre und fantastische Zukunft geschickt wird, in der Wissenschaft und Evolution allerlei Schrecken aus Mythen und Legenden hervorgebracht haben, werden sie alsbald eingekesselt und müssen verzweifelt um ihr Überleben kämpfen – gegen Albträume aus Fleisch und Blut, die zur neuen Normalität geworden sind. Das kann nur eins bedeuten:
Es ist an der Zeit für die Ranger, das zu tun, was sie am besten können: ihren Feinden den Garaus zu machen.
Die Mächte des Bösen haben keine Ahnung, wie gefährlich ein Ranger wirklich ist, und wenn die Action erst einmal begonnen hat, wird sie so schnell nicht mehr abreißen, in diesem epischen Kampf ums Überleben in der Vergessenen Ruine.
