Description
A captain and his crew journey out of time and into battle in the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Taylor Anderson’s alternate history Destroyermen saga.
Pressed into service when World War 2 breaks out in the Pacific, USS Walker—a Great War–era destroyer—finds itself in full retreat from pursuit by Japanese battleships. Its captain, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Patrick Reddy, heads Walker into a squall for cover. They emerge somewhere else...
Familiar landmarks appear, but the water teems with vicious, monstrous fish—and there appear to be dinosaurs grazing onshore. Matt and his crew have entered an alternate world...and they are not alone. Humans have not evolved, but two other species have. And they are at war.
Reddy and the crew of the Walker have the power and weaponry capable of turning a primitive war into a genocidal Armageddon. Now they must decide which species they will support, because the side they choose will be victorious...

Into the storm
4By RockywoolGood Sci Fi read. Can't wait read the Crusade.Into the storm! (Now with space ships)
5By NativemomHa Ha JHBLETSCH! glad you read about this "Space Opera" ......now thats funny I wonder if Taylor Anderson reads these reviews? I guess some readers get transported to alternate books let alone the alternate earth, though I suspect Captain Reddy & the Lemurians would love some FTL drives if for no other reason then to send the Celestial Mother's fat kiester to Mars! Very good books, fast paced & exciting I cant wait for the 9th book in fact I hope there are many, many more of these books!! I hope they make a TV series or something, Now that would be really cool!great book
4By Barberman83great book, love the story line, i do wish the language was a little cleaner, its not bad but it could be a little cleanerEnjoy!
5By KirkfgThis book is just plain FUN! A decrepit WWI destroyer is on the ropes as the WWII Japanese Navy tightens the noose around it's neck in the short weeks following Pearl Harbor. Engaged in an overwhelming battle, they seek cover in a strange sea squall, and find themselves transported to a bizarre alternate universe of Dinosaurs, Prehistoric sea life, a race of intelligent Lemur People, and the deadly, bestial Crik. This is the first in a series of well written and nostalgically Pulp-ish books by this author. I really enjoyed reading it and think others might too!Great Series!
5By Steven RRI've read the first three, they are great books.Great story!
5By Badgernath16It's a shame Stephencc gives a bad rating based on a technical difficulty. Don't let him dissuade you from this book. It was a GREAT read, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I have purchased the other 3 books as well and have finished the next 2. The series only gets better. Starting the 4th today.Excellent space opera
5By jhbletschGreat read. Thoroughly enjoyed the crisp writing and solid characterization. Interesting explanations of FTL travel and space combat. Immediately purchased the other books in the series to read on my iPhone.Great!
4By gEiStToGDon't know what stephencc is crying about, but the book is all there and the story behind it is awesome from what I've read so far. Great fantasy / alternate universe book so farApple cheats it's clients!
1By StephanCCI downloaded the full version only to receive 16 pages. When I called support they put me on hold for 6 hours and then hung up on me. They cheated me out of the 6.99 I paid. Shame on them!
