The marooned crew of the World War II destroyer Walker and
their Alliance with the Lemurians face its greatest challenge. While their leader,
Captain Reddy, has gone off in search of a rogue Japanese battle cruiser that’s
recently transported from our world, the Alliance holdings in India is hit with
a new variety of Grik warriors. Ones who are less primal, more collective, and
just as aggressive. Plus, the enemy has unleashed some newer and more deadlier
weapons to destroy the Alliance once and for all.
Just when you think all is lost, Anderson turns the switch
and allows a brief glimpse of hope that the Alliance will finally conquer the
Grik and their Japanese allies. This was perhaps my favorite book in the series
since book three, Maelstrom. I love how technical he can get with weapons
design and life inside a platoon. However, there are tons more action in this
book than I feel the last two books combined have been.
I’m not totally happy with how the series is playing.
Anderson keeps killing off characters I really like. Plus, he’s added a new
character from America’s Intelligence office in “our world” to this alternate
earth. He’s very snarky and I just feel
like he’s going to but serious heads with Captain Reddy soon enough in the next
book or two.
Regardless, I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I
totally devoured the last 100 pages in two days. It was so very worth it and so
very much Worth Consuming.
Rating 9 out of 10 stars.
