Destroyermen Book series

[Admiral Sudsy]

Love the dreadnought and age of sail games, cant wait to play both. Fans of these games will love the Destroyermen series, by Taylor Anderson. The books feature tons of military engineering and nautical adventures in a rusty, ww1 era US destroyer transported to another, alien world, facing all sorts of foes along the way. Tech in the series plays an important role, and includes everything from age of sail vessels, ironclads, steamships, aircraft carriers, and much more. It would be dope to see some nods to the series in the games, and maybe even more customization or modding tools to let us see hypothetical battles between hordes of indiamen crewed by raptors against a battered destroyer, or have the bamboo and ducttape aircraft of the alliance duke it out over the fleets, in one game. A man can dream...

I think I stopped at book 9 or 10... couldn't go further anymore

That sounds kinda cool. Like a Turtledove alternate version of history I will look into that! Thanks Sudsy!

It's a good series. I kinda feel like it's dragging on too long and there are too many characters. And with the League in Europe I don't see it ending anytime soon

Destroyermen is essentially a copy of Forstchen's The Regiment series but focussed on a WWII destroyer instead of an ACW regiment.
