About this ebook

The skies explode in this thrilling alternate history novel in Taylor Anderson's New York Times bestselling Destroyermen series.

After the terrible battle between the men of the destroyer USS Walker and their Lemurian allies against the savage Grik, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy is shocked by the arrival of a strange ship captained by Commodore Jenks of the New Britain Imperial Navy—an island-nation populated by the descendants of British East Indiamen swept through the rift centuries before.
 
With the Walker undergoing much-needed repairs, Reddy knows the Grik have only been fended off, not defeated, and he will need all hands on deck to fight them off when they next attack--but Jenks’ loyalties seem uncertain.
 
As tension between the Allies and the Imperials mount, Reddy will come to realize that his suspicions are not misplaced—and that a greater danger than the Grik is about be revealed...

Ratings and reviews

Whole series is amazingly emersive. The details, imagination, vivid action and landscape/seascape all impressive. I spent 6 months at sea on a similar sized US Navy ship while serving as a US Marine. Taylor Anderson is a Fantastic author that hooked me on book 1, chapter 1 and continues to impress with each additional book. I really enjoy the diverse characters. Something for everyone to identify with.

Excellent series
