Publisher's summary

Stuck in an alternate universe during World War II, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy of the U.S.S. Walker has found an unlikely but invaluable ally in Commodore Jenks of the New Britain Imperial Navy. And now they are united in their desire to hunt down the traitor who abducted two women both men would die to protect: Reddy's love, nurse Sandra Tucker, and young Princess Rebecca of the New British Empire. But first they have a new battle to win.

However, this battle will not be fought with broadsides and broadswords, but with cunning and intrigue. For when Reddy and Jenks report the situation to the New Britain Company, they are met with scorn and disbelief. It soon becomes obvious that the ruthless Company is attempting to overthrow the Imperial Throne - and that someone involved knows where Sandra and Rebecca are. From the halls of power to the ballrooms of the nobility, Reddy must navigate through a tempest of politics, deception, and betrayal if he is ever going to save the hostages and live to fight another day.

recovery from last book

A good book and redemption from last book. He is no S. King and does not turn out good books each and every time, this is a winner.
It will be interesting to see if the next one is thrown in or thoughtfully written.

I like the series very much but some have a loss of cohesion and too much filler.

Flawed, but compelling

I get bogged down in the battle scenes, don't care much for William Dufris, sometimes come across a minor anachonism, but cannot stop listening to these adventures or caring about an absolutely crazy cast of characters!

The best book in the series!!!!!!

I love this series and i hope there is more, like a book six. But you have to start at book one to understand, the story.

Connector Book

Anderson has done another exciting book in #5 of the destroyermen series. From the title, I assumed that it would be a connecting book between the set up last book and whatever comes in the next one; I was not disappointed. Author balances several plot lines and finally brings a couple of them together at the end while cementing future actions. Where is book #6?

Magnificent Epic Series

I am really impressed by the voice actor performing this series; there are many characters in this alternate world where the dinosaur killing asteroid missed earth; some are intelligent lizards, others descendants of Madagascar lemurs, others humans of different descent; the narrator endeavors to keep the conversations distinguishable by giving each a distinctive sound.

As for the book itself, why isn't this famous? It dwarfs Lord of the Rings, it is painstakingly researched and delivered with unparalleled accuracy of detail. High Adventure and good vs evil. Lizard evil and human evil. I love this series, it is highly addictive.

This is book 5, best start at the beginning!

Awesome story.

I love this entire series, and Rising Tides doesn't let you down. If you are jsut starting the series and are looking forward to the reviews of the later books, read no more. I can tell you that this is a series worth starting and finishing.

When is the next book coming out?!
