Distant Thunders: Destroyermen: 4 Mass Market Paperback – Illustrated, 1 Feb. 2011

I have enjoyed the whole idea of the story - stepping into an alternative Earth where things are the same but different. Evolution has moved a different way - and there are lots of threats and challenges to be faced - and allies to be made.One big irritant for me is the constant restating of who is who and what is what for the first third of each and every book - and often throughout. Oh and one more thing - the main theme is really war. Lots of it. But it's well done.

This is the fourth book in the series and it shows: The writing flows and the caracters are more beliveable. I would recomend that you read the other books in the series first. The OT is rather intresting and the author knows the period and his belowed four stackers. The maps are sufficent, as always there is room for improvment in that department. My one fear is that the series will turn in to the something like "the lost regiment" series by W.R. Forstchen . after some 10 books it left you in the lurch. Always more savages to fight but it never finished.But for the Destroyermen I hope the series will finisin a logical way. Anyway, I have already preorderd the next book in the series.

Fabulous series of books. Alternate Earth Alternate Dimension genre worked extremely well. Of course it’s a bit ‘Team America, World Police’ and as a Brit you need to look past the fabulous but, to be expected, stereotyping. Once you’re past that hurdle and appreciate the irony, you can settle back into a superb reading journey.

Wow! What can I say. This series has just grown better at each stage but THIS book! Thrilling, action-packed, edge-of-seat stuff! The cuddly meerkats are no longer "meerkats"... they're just characters in the story and only occasionally are you reminded that they have fur and tails! The nasty lizards, the Griks, are no longer simply mindless, carnivorous killers but have also taken on deeper characteristics. ...and now a further dimension has been added to the tale. I cannot recommend the Destroyermen series highly enough - entertainment is a given, thrilling is a byword.

Quite surprised at the twists and turns in this continuation to an excellent series. I had expected it to move on faster with the main plot, but side plots have been further developed, and there is greater depth to the landscape.By the end of this book, the sense of anticipation and build up of what is to come is really strong. Now I have to wait for him to finish the next one.....Excellent stuff, and wholeheartedly recommended.

More adventure with Ad-mah-raal Reddy and crew, vs the Grik and with the added spice of the New Britain Empire. Cracking!

Well written, with good characters in the dialogue. Keeps the reader involved until the conclusion. Looking forward to the next episode.

great story
