Distant Thunders

fullDescription

After the battle in which the men of the destroyer Walker and their Lemurian allies repelled the savage Grik, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy is shocked by the arrival of a strange ship captained by one Commaner Jenks of the New Britain Imperial Navy—an island-nation populated by the descendants of British East Indiamen swept through the rift centuries before.


With the Walker undergoing repairs, Reddy already has a great deal on his hands. For the Grik will return, and Reddy will need all hands on deck to fight them off when they next attack. But Jenks's uncertain loyalties make Reddy question whether he can trust the man.


As tension between the Allies and the Imperials mount, Reddy will come to realize that his suspicions are not misplaced—and that a greater danger than the Grik is closer than he ever suspected.

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: American and Japanese soldiers find themselves continuing WWII on a "twisted, alien Earth," with cat and insect people joining the fray. The third in a series, MAELSTROM starts in the midst of the war. William Dufris puts life--and voices that have a ring of familiarity--into the stock characters, making them believable as soldiers in a bizarre situation. His performance adds to a sense of wonder in the first half of the novel as the alien world is established and explored. The freshness of the first half evaporates as the fighting begins. At this point, the book becomes just another war yarn. The action can get bloody, so expect some graphic descriptions. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

   • content:

     April 19, 2010
     Rebuilding after the ship-shattering climax of 2009's Maelstrom
     , Capt. Matt Reddy and the crew of the dimensionally misplaced USS Walker
     continue pushing their Bronze Age allies, the Lemurians, through the Industrial Revolution to take the war to the invading reptilian Grik. Somewhat aided by the paddle-wheel steam frigates of New Britain, Reddy liberates conquered cities to the west and then races to the east in a refloated Walker
     to re-rescue New British princess Rebecca Anne McDonald. The fun of watching eager aviators take to the air in carved wooden aircraft leavens the nostalgic sense of worlds being left behind and cultures forced by war to undergo unpleasant changes. Anderson raises questions about the morality of chemical warfare, genocide, and summary execution in wartime while holding out the possibility of diplomacy with relentless killers.
