By: Taylor Anderson

Length: 16 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

In Taylor Anderson's acclaimed Destroyermen series, a parallel universe adds an extraordinary layer to the drama of World War II. Now, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy, the crew of the USS Walker, and their allies battle an ever-growing host of enemies across the globe in a desperate battle for freedom.

War has engulfed the other earth. With every hard-won victory and painful defeat, Matt Reddy and the Allies encounter more friends-and even more diabolical enemies. Even, at last, in the arms of the woman he loves, there is little peace for Reddy. The vast sea, and the scope of the conflict, have trapped him too far away to help on either front, but that doesn't mean he and Walker can rest. Cutting short his "honeymoon," Reddy sails off in pursuit of Hidoiame, a rogue Japanese destroyer that is wreaking havoc in Allied seas. Now that Walker is armed with the latest "new" technology, he hopes his battle-tested four-stacker has an even chance in a straight-up fight against the bigger ship - and he means to take her on.

Elsewhere, the long-awaited invasion of Grik "Indiaa" has begun, and the Human-Lemurian Alliance is pushing back against the twisted might of the Dominion. The diplomatic waters seethe with treachery and a final, terrible plot explodes in the Empire of New Britain Isles. Worse, the savage Grik have also mastered "new" technologies and strategies. Their fleet of monstrous ironclads - and an army two years in the making-are finally massing to strike.

I have fallen in love with the people in this book. I can't wait to see what happens next.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything! I would love to meet the Lemurians and see the Grik. And Silver....

What does William Dufris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I know just who is talking when he changes characters. Wonderful.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

A moment?!! This series is full of those moments that make you moan, laugh and cry.

Any additional comments?

I WANT MORE!!!!

Intriguing

Fantastic series- you literally don’t know what is waiting around the corner. Fantastic narration and unbelievable imagination.I downloaded thinking it was a normal war story but now hooked totally .

Love it

Would you listen to Iron Gray Sea again? Why?

Yes. Love the narrator and I'm a sucker for alternate reality books.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed the flow of the story and how the narrator handles multiple characters. I've heard all of the other books in the series and have come to feel as if the characters are old friends. I particularly love his portrayal of Silva..the lovable rogue of the bunch.

Have you listened to any of William Dufris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I plan to.

Not Really A Sci-Fi Fan But I Like This Series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The characters are all well defined, sometimes predictable, but still providing a good storyline

Any additional comments?

As I said, I have never really been a sci-fi fan, but this series has gripped my imagination. About the only downside that I have had a issue with is that in Iron Grey Sea, the audio level was a lot lower. I drive a truck for a living, so I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and books 1 thru 6 were fine, but this one was so hard to hear over the truck noise.

Another decent installment of a decent series

Hey, it's a great series to listen to while you are running down the road, and this installment is actually one of the better ones, although Anderson does tend to get bogged down in character development a little more than I care for.
He has a pretty good grasp of tactics and a great wealth of knowledge regarding seagoing minutia making the books a great listen. I keep buying them, so they have to be pretty good. I'd like to see a lot less talk and a little more action.
Mr. Dufris does a good job. Very consistent in the overall cadence and tone of the story.
If you are looking for a fun series to listen to, one not requiring any "in depth" thinking about, this is a great one, especially if you enjoy a good war story.

Another great book.

Would you listen to Iron Gray Sea again? Why?

It keep me entertain. Every time I listen to it I always seem to be missing a part.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dennis Silva

Which scene was your favorite?

The way the old ship always makes it back.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

One of them

Any additional comments?

If you have not listen or read the other books, do so. That way you will know what is going on.

When is the next book comming out?

This can't end here, there has to be more. When is the next book coming out?

love it

love it. couldn't stop listening. a must read. great story and I have read twice.

My favorite series

This series has become my all-time favorite. It’s packed with action and adventure, romance, suspense and great characters. I’m a stickler for details and Anderson makes sure that everything that happens has a practical and logical explanation. My wife thinks some of Dufris narration gets kind of corny but having listened to him narrate all of the books, the voices and accents he uses for the different characters just seem normal to me. I highly recommend this series of books.

Wonderful narration

How did they get all those voices just right? Pronouncing all those names had to be as hard.
Great job!
