This is the 7th novel in the Destroyermen series. For a sequel (actually a continuation of the story) this is as good as the previous novels.This continues the saga of Captain Reddy and his intrepid destroyer 'Walker' transportered by a storm to a new Earth that is similar, but with huge differences in species and geography. I'm pleased to have learned that book 8 is now available.The scope of this series is reminiscent of Asimov's Foundation series, in which a whole new universe and a variety of societies are created. The scenes are vivid, the characters varied and real, the issues modern in scope and the story line one of the best I've ever read.The only thing that concerned me were the lack of drawings or pictures of the various species. It would really help as the descriptions, though detailed, left much to be desired. While the Lemurians are fairly easy to depict, the Grik and various other creatures could use the art work.I actually went out and bought this novel after reading the previous two in the series. I have not read the first 3. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys action and adventure, war and all the small details that brings Taylor's world to life.Excellent read. The battles continue in book 7 of 9. By now, the reader is accustomed to the technology inject and the static fighting between multiple entities as the war plods on for multiple volumes. There are still multiple story lines and one of them keeps popping up at the end of each book: "Gee, where did that come from?" Not much got resolved, the enemies are still the same and the USS Walker crew dwindles. I wonder what will happen next?
Do You like book Iron Gray Sea (2012)?
Just like all of the books in this series, it leaves you wanting more, in a good way.

This is a terrific series. As good as Harry Turtledove's Colonization books.
