The Ruins of the Earth series by J.N. Chaney consists of seven books published between 2020 and 2026. The series focuses on military operations on Earth itself, with the planet under threat from alien or supernatural forces.
Gods and Men, Phantom Deadfall, Valley of the Dead, and Fire and Fury suggest ground-level combat in a devastated landscape. The series brings Chaney’s military sci-fi style back to Earth rather than setting it in deep space, giving the conflict a more immediate, personal feel.
