Synopsis

The long-planned raid on the heart of the Grik Empire has grown more ambitious—and dangerously ill-defined. Only Matthew Reddy, commander of the old destroyer USS Walker, seems focused on its original intent.

Many Lemurians see an opportunity to reconquer their sacred homeland, which was stolen long ago, and have no intention of simply striking a blow and then pulling back. Others, Lemurian and human, have their own agendas—which may not be in the best interests of the Alliance. Complicating matters further is Reddy's suspicion that his task force is being stalked by an unknown power bent on aiding the Grik for reasons of its own.

As the raid begins and chaos reigns, Reddy has no choice but to go all in, risking everything in a desperate act that results in a sprawling, nightmarish battle on the beaches of "Grik City," on the very decks of Walker, and in the labyrinthine passageways of the Celestial Palace itself.

The final cost could be more than Matt Reddy—or the Alliance—can bear.

Goodreads review by Kat

I love Taylor Anderson’s characters and the world he has built in his DESTROYERMEN series, and the audio editions of these books are wonderfully performed by William Dufris. But Deadly Shores is the ninth book in the series and the war, which is pretty much the focus of the entire plot, seems like i......more

Goodreads review by Ryan

Another fine addition to the Destroyermen series. Fans of this series probably won't be disappointed. There are some minor problems in this series, though. His world-building has gotten so big with so many characters that Taylor Anderson cannot reasonably give quality time to each storyline in this......more

Goodreads review by Kathy

Ninth in the Destroyermen military science fiction (alternate history on an alien Earth) series and revolving around the captain of the USS Walker and the friends with whom they’ve allied. My Take Whew. Another pip from Anderson. Only third-person omniscient point-of-view can work in this, if we’re to......more
