Blood in the Water

Destroyermen Series, Book 11

By: Taylor Anderson

Narrated by: William Dufris

Ever since the USS Walker came from another world war to defy the terrifying Grik and diabolical Dominion, Matt Reddy and his crew have given their all to protect the oppressed Lemurians. But with the Walker in desperate need of repairs just as the Grik's first general is poised to strike, Reddy is desperate.

With more enemies than ever before arrayed against them, the crew of the Walker needs new allies. That means combing the lethal wilds of Madagascar to find the Lemurians' fabled ancestors as well as the enigmatic dwellers east of the Pass of Fire. But what Reddy's crew unearths may be more than they can handle - discoveries so shattering that they could tilt the balance of the war in either direction.

But Reddy's greatest adversary is from his past: a madman named Kurokawa whose single-minded mission of revenge will shake the Alliance to its core and raise the stakes to the most personal and terrifying levels Reddy has ever faced.

Awesome Series!

This is one awesome series written by a talented Author. Looking forward to the next book!

Great addition to the series

First got into this series in college during a rough time in my life and really loved it. Fell out when I got busy with work and couldn’t devote much time to reading. Now that I got into the audio book forgot how in depth the author go into the world building. Will finish up the series this year and get into the spinoff if possible too.

Long In the Tooth

Where does Blood in the Water rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Of the 112 books I have listened to it sits at # 14, but the breadth of my reading is such that it is not valid to compare vz. Capital, 14, Churchill and It Starts With Food are four examples.

Would you be willing to try another book from Taylor Anderson? Why or why not?

This story is getting long in the tooth so I might try only one more of this series.

Which scene was your favorite?

Silva on the Grick Dirigible near the end of this book.

The narrator does an excellent job with all the voices and emotions - should get an award for this series !!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

Anderson needs to wrap this up while we are all still with Capt. Reddy.

Getting Too Big

I have found that in the last few books that the story is getting so large that it's hard to include everything. Certain things aren't covered or barely covered. Either the books are going to have to get larger or some lose ends are going to have to get tied up. Not a big fan of cliff-hangers either. I still enjoyed it but almost dropped a star on Overall, Dufris narration is all thats keeping it at 5.

Great book and can't wait for the next in the series.

This is great series and this book is a favorite in the series. In fact it would be my favorite had it not ended with such a cliffhanger.
