Storm Surge

Storm Surge by Taylor Anderson, 465 pages

Reading a series of books can be one of the most frustrating things in the world. Not only do the authors always end their books with you wanting more, you then have to wait months if not years before the next book comes out. By then you have not only forgotten some of the characters but you also don’t remember some of the underlying plots. Anderson takes some elaborate means to help jog your memories. Not only does he give an index at the front for handy referencing, he also gives a small bio on each character as he reintroduces them.

Storm Surge continues the story of the USS Walker who, after getting transported to a parallel world, met the Grik and the Lemurians. In this book both sides of the conflict put their newest technological marvels to the test for control over India. Anderson does a masterful job describing both the land and sea battles in such detail that you feel you were there. His likeable characters make you cringe and read faster whenever they are in danger. Overall this series is a must read for those that like military novels with a sci-fi twist.

 Sadly I have now caught up with the series and despite the fact I want to know what happens next, I must wait.
