Darkness and Stone

The Lost, Book 3

By: Peter Nealen

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

Debts owed. Debts paid.

After the hunt for the vampire, Conor McCall’s Recon Platoon and their Tuacha allies can turn their attention to unfinished business. The Marines lost men in the Land of Ice and Monsters. They only know that those men are missing.

Without a body, ain’t nobody dead.

In search of their missing comrades—and Mathghaman Mag Cathal’s old nemesis—they return to the north.

Only to stumble into a bigger war than they’d expected. Their only allies in that harsh, frozen, haunted land are besieged by forces wielding powers they’ve only seen once before.

Now they must face terrible sorcery and horrific odds, as the question remains: Will they accomplish their mission...or die trying?

Great story!

I loved listening to the story you laid out. I am looking forward to the next book and to see what is in store for the recon marines

Kind of like a modern day Narnia for adults

I very much enjoyed this book. The fantasy elements were just as enjoyable as the military ones. Takes some inspiration from old Welsh and Irish folklore (if I am not mistaken) which made it interesting and refreshing. I have listed to the first three in the series and am anxiously awaiting the fourth.

Another excellent entry.

I don't think this was as good as book 2, but I appreciate the author tying up loose ends from book 1. Good thing they want after their former brother in arms. Ignoring them would have resulted in world destruction. Now the reason why I say Book 2 was better, Book 2 had better tension and the Rangers seem like they were in more danger. The Valor God was a big disappointment and I'm not sure how the sacrifice banished him. Why did Zimmerman continue with the ritual? Did he believe if they summoned Valor he would be sent home and had no issues watching his Captain get sacrificed? I think there should be another book about the 4 Rangers who became enemies and what they went through for months. This will help the readers get a better understanding or at least make book 3 better. Now don't get ne wrong, enjoyable entry, but book 2 is better while book 3 is better than book 1.

A lifelong fan.

Loved every minute of it. From start to finish kept me entertained. I don't know much about military stuff but from what I understood it was excellent.

I’m addicted to the Lost

I’m thoroughly addicted to this series. It’s as good as Hell Divers and Galaxy Edge Season One. Lots of action, brotherhood, and story. And no political garbage.
