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.

Sorry it ended..

This is one of those books that I was upset when it ended. Very well read, found myself sitting in my car for an hour after I parked..

Wonderful. I look forward to hearing Book 2.

What a great story - and so entertaining. I didn't know what this book was about when I started listening to it, but it didn't take long before I knew I was hooked. Not only was I pleasantly surprised by the story, but also by the characters and the subplots. Taylor Anderson's research for this series must have taken years.

Despite the rather large cast of characters, William Dufris does a masterful job of differentiating the voices so the listener won't get lost. Even before I finished this book I knew I wanted to listen to the whole series.

love the series second time through

I am hoping a new book in this one comes out very soon. Love the series.

Rip-roaring adventure

Fantastic story read by the right narrator. This is my second "read" and it's just as awesome.

Love this series

It’s awesome to have finished this series already but to go back and listen to it brings out so much more

What about the women!

So I understand how they get where they are at but shouldn't rhe women be like gold even in that time frame? I like the characters and their voices. The book definitely sets up a long series or as much as the author could want. ill be buying the next book.

I got sucked in too!

That is how I feel every time I start a new series, I got sucked in. The difference is, with this series it is worth it. I love historical fiction, alternate universes, and military books, and so I love the Destroyermen series too. The next best thing to the story is William Dufris, the narrator. William Dufris is the best narrator on Audible. Every time I listen to a book narrated by Dufris, I have to ask myself "Is this a good book? Or did the narrator make this a good book?" In the case of the Destroyermen series, the books are great, and the narrator is awesome. Usually by the end of a long series, I hate myself for wanting to know how the story ends and buying the next book, but so far, each book of this series is as good as the last. Enjoy.

Enjoyed much, great listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

William Dufris brings Taylor Anderson's book to life. This is a keeper.

What about William Dufris’s performance did you like?

His vocal abilities were so wide and convincing.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and wanted more.

Any additional comments?

I will definitely be purchasing more in this series.
