Collisions of the Damned: The Defense of the Dutch East Indies

My God, we are losing this war. —Lt. Nicholas Cobb, USN

March 1943. The Usurper’s War has resumed, with disastrous results for the Allies. The Imperial Japanese Navy, flush with victory after securing their eastern flank, turns their gimlet gaze towards the ultimate prize for their Emperor: The Dutch East Indies.

For Commander Jacob Morton, XO of the U.S.S. Houston, the oncoming Japanese storm is not unexpected. The Houston and her Allied companions will have to fight against overwhelming odds, at night, against an enemy who claims the darkness as their own. Above the old, tired Allied fleet, Flight Lieutenant Russell Wolford leads his men in their attempt to negate the Japanese advantages in training with new technology. Beset on all sides, the American, Commonwealth, Dutch, and Australian (ACDA) forces resolve to hold out until the Allies’ industrial might can be brought to bear.

Collisions of the Damned is the continuation of the Usurper’s War series. Picking up where Acts of War left off, this book contains even more relentless combat and breathless naval actions than its predecessor. As Japan confronts a divided United States and its desperate allies, ordinary men and women are forced to make decisions that will have far reaching consequences.
