On The Sea
The sea.
Bearer of commerce, fertilizer for empires, and a battlefield where the environment itself is set to kill the warriors who engage each other upon it. From the galleys of ancient Greece to the deadly, silent murder machines of the nuclear age, Mankind has set across the oceans to visit great harm upon their fellow man on distant shores.
On The Sea brings you alternate endings to these voyages, with characters and points of divergence as varied as the oceans themselves.

What Others Are Saying
“Great stuff. Authentic, plausible, and action packed. I finished [Against the Tide Imperial] and immediately had to buy the others on Kindle…”
– Taylor Anderson, author of The Destroyermen series.
“With the launch of “Acts of War”, author James Young shows himself to be a master of that science fiction sub-genre called ‘Alternate History’. Exceptionally well written and deftly crafted into a compelling read from beginning to end, “Acts of War” is very highly recommended and will leave its fully entertained readers looking eagerly toward the next installment of this outstanding series.”
– Midwest Book Review
“As a maritime historian, I was very pleasantly surprised by how true Young’s naval combat scenes ring.”
-Daniel Butler, author of December 7, 1941 and Unsinkable
