All other plans go on hold when the attempt proves more difficult—and more heartbreakingly costly—than anyone imagined.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeanwhile, the struggle continues on other fronts near and far: in the jungles of Borno in distant southern Africa and in the Americas, where the Allies are finally learning the terrible truth about the twisted Dominion.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Alliance is on the offensive everywhere, but their enemies have a few surprises, including new weaponry and new tactics...and a stunning geographic advantage that Reddy never suspected.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUntil now.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for Taylor Anderson and the Destroyermen novels: \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Taylor Anderson has brought a fresh new perspective to the tale of a cross-time shipwreck.
