Publisher's summary

Stuck in an alternate universe during World War II, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy of the U.S.S. Walker has found an unlikely but invaluable ally in Commodore Jenks of the New Britain Imperial Navy. And now they are united in their desire to hunt down the traitor who abducted two women both men would die to protect: Reddy's love, nurse Sandra Tucker, and young Princess Rebecca of the New British Empire. But first they have a new battle to win.

However, this battle will not be fought with broadsides and broadswords, but with cunning and intrigue. For when Reddy and Jenks report the situation to the New Britain Company, they are met with scorn and disbelief. It soon becomes obvious that the ruthless Company is attempting to overthrow the Imperial Throne - and that someone involved knows where Sandra and Rebecca are. From the halls of power to the ballrooms of the nobility, Reddy must navigate through a tempest of politics, deception, and betrayal if he is ever going to save the hostages and live to fight another day.

A Chase around the globe

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rising Tides?

Dennis Silva's escape from the traitorous New Britain Company henchmen, and fighting to survive on a truly hostile land over a thousand miles from rescue all the while trying to keep Princess Rebecca and Sandra Tucker alive another day.

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

Emotion and character depth brought to life.

constant repeating of character back story is anno

Every book constantly repeat characters back story. waste of time and annoying. if im on book five i think the author should assume the reader/listener knows the main characters. many minutes is spent saying the same back story for each character. like for Chak, how he was a pacifist and how he became a oustanding warrior blah blah blah not sure how long it goes on but i skip forward 4 times and narrator is still talking about chak's back story... one that has been repeated in similar form since book 2. This is done for every character. really bugs me!!

Terrific deepening of the story.

This engaging story just got more complex. Love the humor and drama. Very touching ending! I can't wait for the next one.

Storyline expands!

I finished the first book in fall of 2023, and all I can say is wow! The story expands adding additional characters and allies. Couldn’t stop listening and also bought the hard bound book!

Each book in this series is better than the last!

If you have not started this series yet, I envy you. If you have started this series, than you are likely in the same boat as myself...in agony, knowing there will be such a long wait for book 6. I wish there was a device that could erase specific parts of my memory so that I could go back and listen the these books again for the first time.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first 4 even though there was much less action. It's obvious Mr. Anderson is setting up the sequence for future events, and I usually hate that, but he did such a great job, I'm afraid the actual events are going to be anti-climactic. I'm sure my fear is unwarranted.

As always, a superior performance by the narrator. I absolutely forget that all those characters are coming from just one person. Well done Mr. Dufris!

great book

Taylor Anderson continues to weave a good story in this series. I look forward to the next book.

Any additional comments?

But I lost where is the book 6? hanging on! plaese make the story finish, don't leave us fans hanging!!!!

Amazing

Excitement through out the story. It would be nice if they could split the story lines so you know when one stops and one starts. It's a little confusing. Over all it was a great story..

A classic B western (FUN)

Great imaginative story. Taylor has a reservoir of great ideas. It's a very John Wayne western disguised in sic fi, with fun, accurate, technical flourishes. Mr. Dufris is beyond excellent as a narrator. I will be sad to find the ending.

great

Can't wait to listen to the next installment. Great listening while driving to or from work.
