About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Taylor Anderson’s phenomenal alternate history Destroyermen series continues as a game-changing conspiracy throws the hope of honor, trust, and survival into chaos.... 

Matt Reddy’s old Asiatic Fleet destroyer USS Walker has been mysteriously transported to an alternate version of earth. Here WWII is no longer raging, and Reddy and his crew have been trying to find a new place for themselves in this strange new world.

Now, along with the felinoid Lemurians and Imperial allies, they fight to keep the reptilian Grik, a race growing in supremacy, from reconquering the Lemurians’ ancestral home on Madagascar. Reddy and his crew are exhausted, far from reinforcements, and wildly outnumbered, so the odds seem greater than ever before. As for the fate of the Americas, Don Hernan and the evil Dominion have gathered to annihilate the forces behind the walls of Fort Defiance as a shadowy power with an agenda all its own rises with chilling resolve.

As the war teeters on a knife-edge, a tipping point may have been reached at last—and cold steel and hot-blooded valor will remain the ultimate weapons.

Ratings and reviews

A fantastic read from start to end. The new book is slated to release in May of 2015 and I've already ordered it - that's how much faith I've put into the book's value as a source of entertainment. As series have a lot of commitment, I was unsure about this one, but I am continually impressed with the easy storytelling that this series has to offer.

Been a fan since the first books, Taylor anderson brings us a world of terrible grief, but with his arrival, hope. Innovation and the industry of war for an oppressed people, this book will have you wanting more!!

Good continuation of the series. Sets up several sub plots for the next book in the series
