Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Straits of Hell by Taylor Anderson

This appears to have shades of Eric Flint's alternate worlds books.  A WWII destroyer is transported to an alternate Earth, I think.  On that alternate reality world a war is being waged by a variety of transported Earthlings and alien races.

This may be a good book but it is most definitely a sequel and there is a definitive lack of back story.   The characters, races and alliances are totally confusing due to that lack of a back story.

This may be a good book but I can't really say as I didn't finish it.  I got too frustrated  trying to guess my way through the plot and characters.  I like the writing style but there are too many other books out there that don't usually frustrate me.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

    I read the first book in the series, Into the Storm, a couple of years ago. In terms of world-building, it was more about establishing a concept than truly executing on it, but there was enough detail to make the story work and make me want to continue with the series.
