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.

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!

Very enjoyable

Where does Iron Gray Sea rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Taylor Anderson has put together a great group of characters. I like forward to each new book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like Brad Garrett

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

He bring the characters more to life. Each character has his or her own voice in the story.

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

The death of Flin's rangers

First half cannot be down loaded to my player

What would have made Iron Gray Sea better?

The ability to down load to my player

Has Iron Gray Sea turned you off from other books in this genre?

It has turned me off to all other books from audiable

Any additional comments?

File must be corrupt, called to report problem 2 weeks ago, issue not resolved.

The war continues...

Another solid addition to the Destroyermen saga.

William Dufris is still doing a great job with the narration. Voices are consistent and recognizable from previous books in the series. As with the other books, it takes a minute to get acclimated to the 'accent' of the Lemurians, but it really serves to emphasize that we are in a different world.

The story moves along at a fairly good pace. There are some areas which slow down, but that issue is quickly solved. The number of characters and story lines is beginning to creep upwards, however. There are definitely sections which feel rushed; there is a feeling that details and some character development are glossed over so that the story can shift to another flash point.

It is at a manageable state right now, but the next few books are in definite danger of having too many things happening at the same time, leading to quickly changing points of view and story lines, which will make things very confused.

Still, this universe just gets more and more interesting, and I'm really looking forward to the next book.

THE BEST EVER!

What made the experience of listening to Iron Gray Sea the most enjoyable?

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.
