About this listen

War has come.

The sorcerous rebellion within the Kingdom of Cor Legear was only the beginning. Now half a million men and monsters are on their way to invade the kingdom in the name of the Empire.

All that stands in the way is the fortress of Cor Chatha.

The Rock of Battle.

Conor and his fellow Recon Marines have ridden ahead to scout the enemy and try to disrupt the advance. A recon platoon can only do so much against such an army, however.

And the army is the least of their concerns.

Monsters, sorcery, and ancient evils descend on the Rock, as the Marines and their allies prepare to make what might be their last stand.

The dramatic finale does not disappoint

Can’t say enough good about this book and this series as a whole. Following the Recon Marines and witnessing their adaptation to this wild world has been an awesome experience, and the life lessons tucked between the battles always hit home.
This book ties up a few of the main arcs while also dropping some massive worldbuilding glimpses that I seriously hope get explored more in the future.

Almost perfect, unresolved story elements for EOS.

This is the last book in the series and I throughly enjoyed it. Narration was great, story was mostly good, but ultimately incomplete.

Spoilers
Issues with Story: I don't recall the author explaining how or why the Rangers were transported to this new land. It ends with (Spoilers) the Rangers stuck in this mythical land. I think there were 11 Rangers left at the end of book 5. There's six when the story ends. I can recall 4 deaths, I'm assuming the 5th one like Chambers died off screen? Next issue, no conclusions with the Headless horsemen. A few are killed, but there's something like 26 or 27 that are left. They wanted the swords but suddenly abandoned their pursuit when they had a clear path to the swords after the Dragon was slained. Next, I was expecting the Marines would get the chance to go home, it didn't happen. They impregnated a few local women and the story ends by saying I'm always a Ranger or something to that matter. The main vaillain of the story was just a guy defeated by a slash to the throat. Halfway through the book, there were talks about the headless horsemen speaking English and making a pack. I expected to hear more about who they were. Nope, never brought up again. So I'm going to give the story a 3. Underwhelming ending with 6 Rangers left I don't recall their names except Bailey and I think Cruz.

Conclusion: Very fun book, fun series with some lazy writing, and incomplete story arcs here and there. I'm sad the series ended as I enjoyed listening to this series. The highlight of the series is book 2. I think I'll go back and listen to that one again.

Absolutely fantastic

Fantastic ending to a fantastic series. I got quite emotional near the end. Writing it outstanding. Obviously Mark Boyett is a good tier narrator as usual as well.

Epic Finale

Rock of Battle was set up to be an epic end cap on this arc of The Lost and it did not disappoint. The action was non stop and the deaths that occurred were meaningful and gut wrenching at times. This was a great finale and well worth the purchase and time invested.

just..awesome. choked up a little at the end there. Thanks for not turning this into a southpark episode of strong women and pc babies. Keep up the good work, dude. Hopefully, you'll sneak a few more in down the road...
