    Haven't read it, but it appears to be a storyline where the Dutch get their hands on a pair of ww1 era british battlecruisers, refit them into hybrid carriers, and cruise around wreaking their own brand of havoc.
    476 pages, looks like a self-pub, no idea on the actual quality.

    For $32.95 and with a specious premise, I fear that I will remain in ignorance of its actual quality.

    Read some of the preview. An exclamation point on the first sentence doesn't bode well for the writing quality. Think I'll pass.

    the piece on the back was no better sadly.
    At 476 pages I don't know if I'd even read a free copy though, time is precious and I do most of my reading via audiobooks while I commute these days.

    Sorry, you must have missed my air-quotes. They can be hard to catch when busily observing the obvious on the internets. ;)
