DESTROYERMEN: “BLOOD IN THE WATER”

We’re pleased to announce that Book 11, “Blood in the Water” will be released on June 14, 2016!


Here’s the cover blurb:


Taylor Anderson’s enthralling New York Times bestselling series of alternate history continues as game-changing revelations upend the Grand Alliance in a potentially cataclysmic war.



Ever since the USS Walker came from another world war to defy the terrifying Grik and diabolical Dominion, Matt Reddy and his crew have given their all to protect the oppressed Lemurians. But with the Walker in desperate need of repairs just as the Grik’s First General is poised to strike, Reddy is desperate.


With more enemies than ever before arrayed against them, the crew of the Walker needs new allies. That means combing the lethal wilds of Madagascar to find the Lemurians’ fabled ancestors, as well as the enigmatic dwellers east of the Pass of Fire. But what Reddy’s crew unearths may be more than they can handle—discoveries so shattering they could tilt the balance of the war in either direction.


But Reddy’s greatest adversary is from his past: a madman named Kurokawa whose single-minded mission of revenge will shake the Alliance to its core and raise the stakes to the most personal and terrifying levels Reddy has ever faced.

Hey! I will be at HonorCon with the great David Weber, October 30 – November 1, 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina! We’ll be “Celebrating Military Science Fiction Literature” (and the “Honorverse,” of course), with a number of my very favorite Sci-fi authors. There’ll be some really great panels, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. If you’re in the area–or even if you’re not–come and see us!

More Doom Whomper!

Finished the lock and it sparks well.  (Note the maker’s mark.  Ha!) Have already let it into the stock and started final shaping.



Another view of the former '03 Springfield sight.
For a big project, you need big screws! Tang screw is made from a quarter-28 bolt. buttplate screws were lag bolts.
A bottom view of the rear sight--made from an '03 Springfield with the bottom milled off and dovetailed.
Doom Whomper 3
The Doom Whomper shaped, with all the parts made and fitted, ready for final finishing and assembly.

The Doom Whomper

Well, I finally started building Silva’s “Doom Whomper.”  The barrel has been turned and breeched and I found a big enough hunk of walnut to swallow the bloody thing.  All is being done with tools and knowledge that would have been available to Silva through his strange life–and at the Baalkpan Arsenal.  Enjoy!



Another muzzle view
From the breech showing the taper.
A close-up of that nasty muzzle
The barrel turned and breeched, it is laid out on a BIG hunk of wood
The barrel is laid in and the stock is sawn out-showing the general shape of things to come!
