Story
After the triumphs of the Battles of the Forts, with Serenea now firmly under Allied control, Brigadier General Spartacus Varinius set his sights upon the Pharaonis home world. The Allies used a tactic reminiscent of Earth's Second World War—however, instead of island hopping, they began planet-hopping, bypassing Pharaonis strongholds as they zeroed in on the planet Eurysa.

I'm going to miss Lance Baker now that he is an immortal. Hopefully it sounded like there could be another addition to the series.

Ryan Fleming is a young agnostic reeling from his brother’s death. Though he is deeply angry with God, he makes good on a promise he made to his brother in the final moments of his life: to visit a church at least once. But shortly after his arrival, the slick megachurch’s shoddily installed video projector falls on his head—sending Ryan through a wormhole into another world. To make it back to his own universe, he must partner with a woman named Faith to awaken a long-sleeping King—the World-Maker who can make all things new.

Modern adaptation of 'Pilgrims Progress' first published in 1678. This was enjoyable and should be considered for inclusion in readings for our children.

Excellent series. Lots of adventure, lots of sadness. If you served our nation, whether during peacetime or conflict thus isan excellent read (listen). The authors donate to help veterans suffering from PTSD and also show the deepest concern for all vets.

The series was well written and continued from where the last book ended.
The reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the performer / reader just didn't sound as good as previous artists.
