Publisher's summary

The Crucible made him a warrior. It didn't prepare him to face the demons within.

Reeling from the salvage site massacre, Gabriel wonders if he's a hero, a monster, or just a pawn in The Herald's games. Whatever the case: He's ready for war.

Command has other plans.

Enter the Proving Grounds: A site designed to test the Reclaimers' ability to survive a hostile environment with minimal supplies. Desperation is quick to turn allies into foes.

And they aren't alone.

Aid comes from an unlikely source. Dark forces strike from the shadows. And old weapons are set loose upon them.

Caught between losing his people and becoming a pawn for a greater evil, Gabriel fears he just doomed humanity's last chance for survival . . .

Great book

Proving Grounds, the third book in the Reclaimer series, takes Gabriel, a hardened warrior, on a new challenge. After a devastating encounter at a salvage site, he’s forced to confront his inner demons while facing grueling trials in the Proving Grounds. This desolate environment tests the Reclaimers’ survival skills and pushes them to the limit.
Fans of the series will appreciate the fast-paced action and the exploration of Gabriel’s psyche. The introduction of new allies and threats keeps the plot fresh, and the ending sets the stage for even more exciting adventures to come. If you’re looking for a thrilling military sci-fi read with complex characters, Proving Grounds is a must-read.

Definitely an amazing addition to the reclaimer series!

This third installation was so much more. More high octane. More collaboration. More ups and downs.. Super entertaining and leaving me wanting more immediately!

My only nitpick would be that the narration for "Project Force" was pronounced wrong every single time except the final utterance. He kept saying Praw-ject instead of PRO-ject.
