Into the Storm

Destroyermen, Book 1

By: Taylor Anderson

Narrated by: William Dufris

Length: 16 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's summary

Pressed into service when World War II breaks out in the Pacific, the USS Walker---a Great-War vintage "four-stacker" destroyer---finds itself in full retreat from pursuit by Japanese battleships. Its captain, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Patrick Reddy, knows that he and his crew are in dire straits. In desperation, he heads Walker into a squall, hoping it will give them cover---and emerges somewhere else.

Familiar landmarks appear, but the water teems with monstrous, vicious fish. And there appear to be dinosaurs grazing on the plains of Bali. Gradually Matt and his crew must accept the fact that they are in an alternate world---and they are not alone. Humans have not evolved, but two other species have. And they are at war.

With its steam power and weaponry, the Walker's very existence could alter the balance of power. And for Matt and his crew, who have the means to turn a primitive war into a genocidal Armageddon, one thing becomes clear: They must decide whose side they're on. Because whoever they choose to side with is the winner.

Loved this book

Loved this book. The story is great I liked the characters. The naration is excellent.

Great story dragged down by narator

I love the story but had to fight through the High School Jock who read this story. I could not stand his voice or mistimed voice inflection. This narator is really bad and ruined a great story

Go Cat Monkey

I have read every one of the books and I have thoroughly enjoyed every one. I have absolutely no problem believing in a slightly altered parallel world. The only problem I have is that I vote for Limeiran over Cat Monkey.

Worth the Read

It starts off a bit slow and can be confusing if you aren't paying attention but then it draws you in with the story and character developments. Then it leaves you hanging at the end but that means you have to read book 2. Haven't gotten around to that but I intend to.

Any additional comments?

Why won't you allow just Step One to be completed?????? You want way too much of my time requiring completion of all the questions. I'd prefer to cooperate by just answering step one questions. It seems to be All or Nothing at All with your survey.
