Using Mosquito Hawk art above as basis Imagined two possible carrier planes:

Note more powerful seven cylinder engines and twin engined similar to the Mitchel Bomber. The TB-1b showed the five cylinder engines was too small in TB-1 prototype. It has two fifty caliber native made ma deuces M2 MGs. Just the thing for a certain French Nazi battleship.

Lighter Fighter Bomber trades bomb load for speed as a fighter. Just the thing to replace the P-40s as they are used up with native built craft. They have two M2 MGs in nose, two M2 MGs in wing root, and one for the tail gunner/radio operator for a total of 5 M2 MGs. Take that Kurokowa's zero clones!

Make that kind - remember the mule. At least in the Wargodverse it is stated that some crosses between their human species are sterile. The fact that this is not true among humans today is the primary reason for accepting us as all one species - unlike horse kind.

What is really irritating is when people who are supposed to be dealing with reality ignore known facts :roll: :
read "Darwin's Black Box," by Michael Behe, or "The Design and Complexity of the Cell" by Jeffrey P. Tomkins for good layman level summaries of the current state of biochemistry. Although I would have used "Complication" instead of "Complexity"; cell biochemistry is too constrained to be called complex in the sense of complexity theory. 8-)

All fiction is fantasy which resonates to reality so we can understand it, but some makes is hard to suspend disbelief.

Here’s the blurb from Amazon on Straits of Hell Book 10 in the Destroyermen series giving the release date as May 5, 2015:


New York Times bestselling author Taylor Anderson’s phenomenal alternate history Destroyermen series continues as a game-changing conspiracy throws the hope of honor, trust, and survival into chaos….

Matt Reddy’s old Asiatic Fleet destroyer USS Walker has been mysteriously transported to an alternate version of earth. Here WWII is no longer raging, and Reddy and his crew have been trying to find a new place for themselves in this strange new world.

Now, along with the felinoid Lemurians and Imperial allies, they fight to keep the reptilian Grik, a race growing in supremacy, from reconquering the Lemurians’ ancestral home on Madagascar. Reddy and his crew are exhausted, far from reinforcements, and wildly outnumbered, so the odds seem greater than ever before. As for the fate of the Americas, Don Hernan and the evil Dominion have gathered to annihilate the forces behind the walls of Fort Defiance as a shadowy power with an agenda all its own rises with chilling resolve.

As the war teeters on a knife-edge, a tipping point may have been reached at last—and cold steel and hot-blooded valor will remain the ultimate weapons.


Hmm I wonder if the “shadowy power with an agenda all its own rises with chilling resolve,” might be Kurokawa and the French Nazis?

Taylor Anderson was miffed that Amason released title and release date prior to his being able to, but has released the cover art first:

He has let few crumbs fall, first the name of the French Nazi battleship is Savoie nd I'joorka and his Khonoshi will appear.
