Book 8. Storm Surge by Taylor Anderson. Shelve Storm Surge. Book 9. Great book, The Surge pdf is enough to raise the goose bumps alone. Add a review Your Rating: Your Comment:. The Surge by Roland Smith. A Raging Storm by Richard Castle. I love how thoroughly Anderson takes us into this world.
It's not just the appearances, but the attention to detail on manners, cultural mores, the uniforms, the music, the differences and similarities between the speciesall with a shared goal.
It sounds so like a vicious blend of Catholicism and Mayan religions. I am curious as to whether Anderson will ever reveal how the two got so twisted! The Story For the Alliance, it's a game of waiting and fretful healing.
Waiting for improvements to weapons, ships, and healing personnel. And it opens with a baseball game, a game at which the Cats excel! A win which helps offset the spirit of defeat hanging over Walker 's crew and the unknown fate of the Hidoiame.
Both Walker and Reddy are healing, frustrated for they are desperate to bring relief to Alden and Safir where they're besieged by the Grik army. And Matt has thought up a dangerous plan which might turn the war or see them all dead.
A plan he will have to push through an increasingly belligerent Herring and a fretful Adar. Meanwhile, Jenks and Second Fleet are chomping at the bit as they prepare to attack the Dominion against unknown odds while Fred and Kari are on the run, the Doms at their heels.
And there's Kurokawa's influence, his knowledge which has provided the Grik with better battleships, zeppelins, weapons. We can only hope the Grik realize what a snake they are sheltering. Worse, both enemies of the Alliance learn of each other The Characters See my blog post for the full cast of characters it's too long for GR.
The Cover The cover is a world war on an alternate world with fighter planes diving on destroyers, smoke filling the sky, and gun flashes lighting up the waves. It's grimy and colorful, and you can almost smell the gunpowder. The title is the war. It's a Storm Surge of battle. This is the first Destroyermen book I didn't buy and I'm glad of that decision. The scenes that I merely liked were few and far between. There were scenes I was bored by and scenes that I absolutely loved.
I would have happily read an entire book about that adventure. If they weren't so married to the ship motif for the covers, that would've been the cover. The talk of battle plans and strategerifisms Even the action on the seas with our supposed main characters was boring as hell. The resolution of THAT part of the book was actually interesting, but it was a minor thing in the overall plot.
What we're left with is a couple more mysteries and all the main players still on the board. They lost a few pawns and a couple Rooks, but all the big chess pieces are still in play. Surely there's a way to solve some of these large conflicts and remove some kings from the table, only to reveal more waiting in the wings.
If you liked the previous installments, you'll probably like this one, despite some of the deus ex machina nonsense. There was no reason for Silva and Larry the Lizard to go back to Walker, for instance.
They were better on the Corps. So yeah, read it; just don't bother buying it. Hey Look, more fightin' and politickin! Seriously, if you're on Book 8 and complaining, either you skipped the prior 7 books or are a masochist for doing the same things over and over. If you see a Google Drive link instead of source url, means that the file witch you will get after approval is just a summary of original book or the file has been already removed.
Loved each and every part of this book. I will definitely recommend this book to science fiction, science fiction lovers. Your Rating:. Your Comment:.
