This is a continuation of the saga of a WWII destroyer shifted to an alternate universe and a decent military science fiction read. It complicates the story by introducing new players and solidifies the existing story line with more detail. All of that is good and this is a very good escapist reading for those of us who like military science fiction. The only jarring note is in the epilogue where some modern right-wing revisionist history is mouthed by one of the characters. No one in the 1940s would have called Nazi Germany a "socialist" country -- nor would any rational current historian. Other than that introduction of modern propaganda this is a good read. Looking forward to the next volume, but with worries that the economy of the Lemurians could be crucified on a cross of gold.
