The spectacular alternate military history saga continues in the third novel in the New York Times bestselling Destroyermen series... Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy, along with the men and women of the battleship Walker, are once again at war. Having sided with the peaceful Lemurians against the savage, reptilian Grik, they now find themselves scrambling to prepare for the attack that is sure to come. Meanwhile, the Japanese juggernaut Amagi, also trapped in this strange world, is under Grik control. Soon, they will have amassed a force that no amount of fire-power and technology will be able to stop. Reddy, his crew, his allies, and his loved ones face annihilation. But if there is one thing they have learned about their new world, it is that hope-and help-may just be over the horizon...

"This book was disappointing, even though I'd been warned that it was a totally different animal than Starfish. Now, I like a good apocalypse. I really like a good apocalypse, especially one borne on the back of a virus. So I was looking forward to this book, despite it being a radical change from Starfish.<br/><br/>But... I was so blah on the characters. I dunno. We'd flip between POVs and I'd just..flip past. I quit when I realized I was skimming the pages around 40% of the way through. Maybe I should have persevered -- the end hadn't come yet -- but I was just so blah about it I didn't know if I'd pick up enough detail to be able to follow along once we did get to the action.<br/><br/>"
