Story
Eddie Cantrell, now married to the king of Denmark’s daughter, is sent by Admiral Simpson to the Caribbean to secure access to the most valuable commodity on that continent - not the gold and silver which the Spanish treasure, but the oil which up-time machines and industry need. The admiral has also provided Eddie’s small task force with the new steam-powered frigates that have just come out of the navy’s shipyards. Even with the frigates, a giant obstacle stands in his way.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

Story
Lord General Coleman Stryker is one of the greatest heroes of the Iron Kingdoms. As a warcaster, Stryker leads the armies of Cygnar and commands the power of the mighty steam-powered automatons known as warjacks. Chosen by his king to liberate the conquered lands of Llael from Cygnar's long-standing enemy, the Empire of Khador, Stryker finds himself forced to work with one of his most bitter enemies - the exiled mercenary Asheth Magnus, a man to whom Cygnar's king owes his life.
Summary
The long-planned raid on the heart of the Grik Empire has grown more ambitious-and dangerously ill-defined. Only Matthew Reddy, commander of the old destroyer USS Walker, seems focused on its original intent.
Many Lemurians see an opportunity to reconquer their sacred homeland, which was stolen long ago, and have no intention of simply striking a blow and then pulling back. Others, Lemurian and human, have their own agendas-which may not be in the best interests of the Alliance. Complicating matters further is Reddy's suspicion that his task force is being stalked by an unknown power bent on aiding the Grik for reasons of its own.
As the raid begins and chaos reigns, Reddy has no choice but to go all in, risking everything in a desperate act that results in a sprawling, nightmarish battle on the beaches of "Grik City", on the very decks of Walker, and in the labyrinthine passageways of the Celestial Palace itself.
The final cost could be more than Matt Reddy-or the Alliance-can bear.

Fastest in the series
What did you love best about Deadly Shores?
I liked how this one moved things along. The battle was taken to the enemy! I like how the newer characters developed. While some of the older characters were taken away (no spoilers here)
What other book might you compare Deadly Shores to and why?
None, haven't came across any which are similar
Which character – as performed by William Dufris – was your favorite?
I know it sounds stupid, but Petty the bird lizard thing has some great one liners!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
As much as I liked it, no. The book is just too long to do so, even if you speed the narration up a little.
Any additional comments?
Once again I feel angry because of the ending. Just once I want the ending not to be a wind up to buy the next in the series!

Deadly Shores is another brilliant masterpiece.
Would you consider the audio edition of Deadly Shores to be better than the print version?
I drive long distances and don't have a lot of time for print. The narrator does such a great job with the voices of the characters, he really makes the story come alive.
What did you like best about this story?
I have heard all nine books in the series. The story line is so powerful I have turned at least 10 others onto the series and we are so addicted to it. I can't wait for the tenth book. The whole concept is great.
Which scene was your favorite?
When they shot the band..
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Two moments. When Commodore Garrett died, and after the big battle on Walker and they confirmed Chief Grey died.
Any additional comments?
Thanks for not killing Silva or Lawrence.

Still action-fllled, imaginative and fun, but...
...But after 9 books, I'm starting to get attention deficit.
I find my thoughts increasingly being pulled away from the main story towards more "universal" thoughts about whether or not the author might be willing to tackle in the future the sci-fi properties of the "straka" thingy that pulled all these interesting characters together from different worlds.
Does the portal go both ways? Can any of the folks in this story ever end up leaving this universe? If not, why not? Why is it that no beings from a more advanced time period than 1944 ever end up in this world? Will the Destroyermen ever find clues that can help them seriously consider answers to these questions?
That said, it's still a great ride with more of the same type of action and imaginative twists and turns... which seems to still be working for now. But it IS beginning to beg the question: "Is war all there is ever going to be...? Or, can future books begin to address a larger arc so as not to devolve into a 'Game of Thrones-ish' type perpetuity?"
Anyway, if you've hung on through Book 8, then you won't be disappointed with Book 9. In fact, the volume gets kick up yet another notch here.
Oh, by the way, big hat-tip to narrator William Dufris. His performance continues to rock. And not just from his range of voice-diversity. His penchant for modulating the pace of narration to match the scene, and interjecting the little breathy gasps, gulps and chuckles all do great justice to Mr. Anderson's story and keeps this series a "4D" adventure.
Mel's recommendation: Buy it.

I'm disappointed
What did you like best about Deadly Shores? What did you like least?
It was good to see the previous story continued, but getting a bit over the top. Almost seems like it was written by someone else. I like the different aspects of the story, but come on, this book expanded too much. It appears the only reason for this book was to set up a new story line to sell more books.
I will not expand on the areas where the story seemed lacking so that those who read this can make up their own mind, but as for me, I think I am done with this series.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Steadfast, The Lost Fleet. Beyond the Frontier.
What three words best describe William Dufris’s voice?
Great narrator.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Not this book #9. Maybe the first several in the series.
Any additional comments?
This author needs to take a deep breath and get back to writing like he used to. Seems like he is only trying to meet a deadline or sell more books. I was very excited for the release of this book and wish I could have been kinder in the review, but it fell short of expectation.

Very well read and produced as usual for the series narrator, Just a bit of a shame that about one third was repeating info that is already in the series which was a bit boring, I hoped for an ending to the series but no just another fight too similar to the rest of the books almost like putting one of the earlier books in a blender, A pity as a new plot would have been great !

More Unexpected Twists Than Most Previous Books
As always, this series provides unending entertainment value. I absolutely loved the development of the story in this novel, but was surprised by the unexpected twists and turns towards the end. A phenomenal culmination of various plot lines that we have been waiting resolution on for several books. I highly recommend this novel and can't wait to enjoy the next one.
