Kirkus Reviews FIRESTORM

Here is a snippet of the review:
The action, which rarely slackens, features splendid naval battles pitting destroyers against wooden-hulled fleets with cannons, land engagements where vastly outnumbered humans and Lemurians face hordes of vicious but none-too-bright dinosaurs, and inflexible Imperials terrorized by fanatically loyal Catholic armies.

It’s a fantastic entry to an amazing expanding story, I devoured it in two days of non-stop reading, Can’t wait for what you bring us next Taylor. Thank you.
Thank YOU Eduardo!
Well, I have only read the 3rd book (Maelstrom) but I am already addicted. Literally, I lie in bed at night wondering what happens- how do they raise the Walker, Mahan or even get to Amagi, her guns, and all her tons of metal? And how do they even get there? Captain Reddy mentions a ‘green cloud’ while they are sailing to the Fil-Pin lands-what did they experience while going through? How did the battle between them and the Amagi turn out, and how did they escape? Do they build what Captain Reddy though-mounting cannons and paddlewheels on the Homes, then sailing into battle? And how will they use Amagi’s guns? I just can’t see them leaving them there to rust. Do they get the Catalina to fly again, and where to the P-40′s come into play. Those sure would be good against those *&^%$#$@ airships-virtual Hindenbergs- and I sure hope they are filled with hydrogen, not helium. Seems to be the case, with how one of them is spectacularly blowing up on the cover of Firestorm. And what are those crazed Catholics planning-have they discovered atomic arms? That would be the end for the entire world. Germ warfare would be even more scary.
I am planning to buy the entire series this Christmas season while I am in Arkansas. Mr. Anderson, you are an extremely good author-please don’t ever ruin the series. Stay the course, and let the grik language only be spoken in hell by the time you are finished.
