Firestorm by Taylor Anderson, A Destroyermen series novel

Firestorm is my 6th journey into the alternate earth of the Destroyermen. The crew of the WWII destroyer, the Walker are marooned on a strange earth along with displaced English colonials, Imperial Japanese, and blood thirsty Spaniards. On this new earth, they are joined by a lemur/ cat hybrid called the Lemurians and must fight giant monster fish, ravenous reptilian Grik, and the Japanese.
  In Firestorm, a lot happens. The Walker fights to free their colonial allies from the Spanish Dominion in areas of Hawaii and the Bay Area. While a troop of Lemurian Marines fight on the shores of Ceylon, after the Grik use some gigantic fish to wreck their navy. Adding to the suspense, a new batch of Japanese battleships enter through the time warp, filled with a hull of dying and tortured American POWs
.
   It's been about 3 years since I read book five, so it's took my a little longer to devour this book as I had to go back and try to remember whose who and why are they important. I'm hooked on this series and very glad that my local library didn't just add this book I'd requested to their inventory, but they got me books 7 and 8 in the Destroyermen series. I can't wait!

8 out of 10 stars.
Worth Consuming.
