Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy, along with the men and women of the USS Walker, have chosen sides in a war not of their making. They have allied with the Lemurians---a mammalian race whose peaceful existence is under attack from the warlike, reptilian Grik. The Lemurians are vastly outnumbered and ignorant of warfare, and even the guns and technology of Walker cannot turn the tide of battle. Luckily, they are not alone. Reddy finally finds Mahan, the other destroyer that passed through the rift. Together, the two American ships will teach the Lemurians to fight and stand against the bloodthirsty Grik---or so they think. For there is another vessel that does not belong on these strange seas---the massive Japanese battle cruiser Amagi, the very ship that Walker was fleeing from when the rift took them. Like Mahan, it followed them through. And now Amagi is in the hands of the Grik.

Having learned the horrible truth about the pure evil and strength of the ancient enemy known as the Grik, the Americans and their Lemurian allies decide that their only chance for survival is a crusade to eliminate the Grik. The crusade is blessed with initial success but fate and this new world have some terrible surprises in store for the alliance. The Americans had their own powerful enemy in the world from which they came. A relentless enemy bent upon the complete destruction of the U.S.S. Walker and the Americans.

This second volume in Taylor Anderson's marvelous series follows the familiar characters from INTO THE STORM and introduces new ones as the war for survival continues and expands.

My husband read this series years ago. He is a retired military (Navy) man who has a great interest and knowledge in history, militaries around the world and at different time periods, ships, planes, guns, explosives, battles, etc. I didn't think it was my cup of tea -- until I recently wanted to read another series, not necessarily fantasy science fiction (dragons, elves, magic, and so forth) so I asked if he knew something I might like. He cautioned me about the military-speak and references to real places and ships and battles mentioned in Taylor Anderson's 11-book series thinking it may be over my head or not of interest. He was wrong. I am now in book 3 and cannot put the books down. There are factual truths but with a twist when groups of humans are transported into another time period and how they react, how they survive, the interaction with other humans and animals, even deadlier battles with intelligent and not-so-intelligent creatures, using technology known to them to survive all that is thrown at them, developing friendships and allies against evil. Well written, informative, descriptive, good characterization, great story about "what if" we suddenly found ourselves still on earth, but in a different time in history.

Another Good Book in the "Destroyermen" Series

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2012

Captain Matthew Reddy and the crew of the USS Walker have been thrust into an alternate, parallel earth where the Lemurians and Grik battle each other for survival. After entering this different world in book one, the battle between the Lemurains and Grik continues in "Crusade".

The USS Walker and her sister, the USS Mahan, are obsolete 4-stack destroyers, but in this world, they are the most powerful ships afloat. Reddy and his crew have allied themselves with the Lemurians in their war against the Grik. So far, the battles have been one-sided, with Reddy and his crew easily destroying the wooden Grik ships. But now, in "Crusade", the Grik have planned an all-out assault against Reddy, USS Walker, and the Lemurians. Plus, the Grik have another huge advantage; The Japanese ship Amagi, which was fighting with Walker and Mahan before they entered the mysterious storm, has also been sucked in and is now operating with the Grik. Will Amagi be enough to turn the tide against Reddy, Walker, and Mahan?

I've really enjoyed the first two books of the "Destroyermen" series. The characters are well-developed, and the story is exciting. I'm a fan of science fiction and World War II history, so I get the best of both worlds in this series. Taylor Anderson has done a good job of blending both elements together into a fine, readable series.

I recommend "Crusade" to anyone who enjoys sci-fi. The story is exciting, and you'll find yourself rooting for the beat-up USS Walker to win.

I do like these books, a lot. They're very imaginative. An alternate Earth and an obsolete WWII-actually WWI- era destroyer trying to survive in it. The only problem being, the author is charging way too much for these books. $8.99 for the third book in the series is too much for me to make. I'm going to have to wait until the author puts the books on Kindle Unlimited before I can finish the series. Asta!

Picks up nicely where book one ended.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2011

This is a book of war. The Americans of the U.S.S. Walkeer and the Lemurians have teamed up to fight off the horrifying, prisoner eating Grik. They come upon a plan to try and unite the disparate Lemurians by sailing to enlist or aid another land colony. This colony is besieged by the Grik, so the allied forces develop a plan to break the siege and gain allies in the process.
What they dont realize, until later is that the Grik have allied themselves with the Japanese Battleship they had been engaged with when the Walker and the Mahan entered the storm and found themselves on this alternate earth.
I wont reveal anything else about this story, but as always, there are some devastating losses and a seemingly overwhelming enemy. Will they survive? Apparently, since there are now six books in the series, lol, but i am far behind in my reading. I cant wait to read book three.
Excellent concept and writing make this series a winner so far.

Gripping and exciting!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2012

So, here we are back in that alternate Earth - you know the one - the one inhabited by those nice, furry, sociable,sea-going "meerkats". Except it's not a nice furry, fluffy Earth, that one. It's dangerous, very dangerous with its oceans populated by amazingly nasty voracious fish, dinosaur-like creatures walk the forests and all the cute life-forms are threatened by psychotic, murderous, intelligent lizards that just love to eat you alive. And the nasty Japs have allied with them! What chance do clean-living American boys have?
I'm actually doing the book a disservice here because it becomes very easy to forget the "meerkats" aren't human, and the story really does become an exciting and gripping one of struggle as the Americans and the Lemurians form an alliance in the struggle to survive against the Grik threat. Our heroes aren't supermen, either. Lives are lost. And not all the "goodies" are good - the enemy within must be dealt with as well. Yes, the heroes can be a bit too noble (at times) and the speeches are perhaps a bit over the top but this is a good, entertaining and easy read (I couldn't put it down) and the story rolls along at a goodly pace, drawing you in. I'm hooked.

Wanted a good escapist read for holiday in the sun - this was it. Couldn't put it down, a real ripping yarn of a sci-fi story bedded in interesting facts that lead into an epic adventure.

Can't fault the storyline, imagination and style of writing. Easy to get up in all the drama and I can see why so many read the entire series.
