About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story and interesting plot. Fast paced with good number of memorable characters. Currently it will not open though
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A continuation of the "Destroyermen" series. Some characters in the plethora of characters, developed more fully as the story moved on--slowly. At one point three battles raged simultaneously and it was difficult to track progress in all of them or to understand the strategic import as the gore continued. No plot limes concluded and the author might as well have cut out some text and combined a few books. Nevertheless, I read/listened to all of it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The lemurians and Americans are fighting a two front battle against the Grik/Japanese and the Dominion. A fun and enjoable read and an interesting storyline.
