Plot synopsis
Captain Matthew Reddy's ship 'Walker,' and his Lemurian allies, have won several battles against the cannibalistic lizard race, the Grik, who are waging a war of genocide against the sea-going Lemurians. The Grik sent a large force of 500 ships carrying 150,000-200,000 soldiers to destroy the Captain's crew and base at Baalkpaan. The Japanese heavy cruiser, the 'Amagi,' will be supporting the Grik lizard army. The 'Amagi' is a more powerful vessel than Reddy's antique, battered destroyers. With these odds, how will the Captain and his allies fare? Can the ship 'Walker' under Captain Reddy and his Lemurian allies prevail against the Grik and their allied ship the 'Amagi'? Will the Grik destroy the Captain's crew and base at Baalkpaan?
