I really like this type of story. An American destroyer, fighting the Japanese in the second world war, finds itself entering a terrific storm. This storm does some very unusual things and when the storm abates, the USS Walker finds itself in a world, although physically very similar (same seas, land and islands)' it becomes quickly and painfully obvious that they are in a very different but parallel Earth. The story of how the crew cope with this and bring their ww2 weaponry and technology to this different earth and races, is very well told and thoroughly engrossing. The author, Taylor Anderson has a thorough knowledge of naval warfare and Destroyer class of ship in particular. The principle characters are well drawn and you find yourself really rooting for them as the engrossing story unfolds. This is the first in a series which follows the fortunes of the 'Destroyermen' and women And I find myself thoroughly enjoying them.
