Pressed into service when World War II breaks out in the Pacific, the U.S.S. 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.

"The Destroyermen collection by Taylor Anderson is one of my favorite series. I have read the entire series as e-books, but these days I love to listen to audiobooks while I paint houses. Much better than the same old songs over and over, loaded with commercials! Into the Storm is the first book in the series, and sets the stage for this alternate reality universe masterfully! This audiobooks adaptation, narrated by William Dufris, is so well adapted that you can almost feel the spray of the ocean as it crashes over the bow as U.S.S. Walker plows through a swell! A great addition to my audiobookstore collection! "
