false 2414716 3 <B>The dawn of the Destroyermen, an imaginative alternate history saga.</B> Pressed into service when World War II breaks out in the Pacific, the USS <I>Walker</I> 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 <I>Walker</I> 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 <I>Walker</I>'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. 2421893 3 6 2008 Into the Storm: Destroyermen, Book I total:60|5:17|4:25|3:16|2:2|1:0| 60 237 103 13 4 0 false false Fri Apr 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 18:57:50 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 16:55:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 17:02:03 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 17:08:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 20:57:27 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 20:59:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 10:34:31 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 10:34:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 12:40:58 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 16:39:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 04:47:36 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 04:51:08 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 19:10:59 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 19:15:35 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Feb 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 20:03:45 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 19:20:37 -0800 2009
