Firestorm

Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy and the crew of the USS Walker find themselves caught between the nation they swore to defend and the allies they promised to protect. For even as the Allies and the Empire of New Britain Isles stand united against the attacks of both the savage Grik and the tenacious Japanese, the "Holy Dominion"-a warped mixture of human cultures whose lust for power overshadows even the Grik-is threatening to destroy them both with a devastating weapon neither can withstand.

Firestorm is the kind of book that I don't read often enough and then wonder why. A good part of why I like the book (and what I have read of the series so far) is that it appeals to me on a couple of different levels. One, it appeals to me on the 'alternate history' level in that it is set during what is/was World War II and the author shows the divisions brilliantly. On another level, it appeals to the S

Rising Tides

In Taylor Anderson's acclaimed Destroyermen series, a parallel universe adds a extraordinary layer to the drama of World War II. Now, as Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy and the crew of the U.S.S. Walker continue their battle for both freedom and survival, the stakes become much more personal...and much more perilous.

One facet of the book that is both a plus and a minus for me is that, while it can squeak by as a stand al

Distant Thunders
The fourth thrilling adventure in the Destroyermen series.
 
After the battle in which the men of the destroyer Walker and their Lemurian allies repelled the savage Grik, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy is shocked by the arrival of a strange ship captained by one 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 repairs, Reddy already has a great deal on his hands. For the Grik will return, and Reddy will need all hands on deck to fight them off when they next attack. But Jenks' uncertain loyalties make Reddy question whether he can trust the man.
 
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 closer than he ever suspected...

Genre(s): Sci-Fi / Fantasy
This was a good book. I enjoyed it tremendously. What made it good are (of course) the little things. When I opened the book, the first few pages have detailed diagrams of ships which were helpful when it came to the text within the storyline. The next thing I noticed was how fully developed the descriptions were of WWI or WWII machineries as well as the language used (in context of those times). The language
