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.

excellent and enjoyable

I very rarely rate my books but I've found this series excellent. The narration is perfect (with the exception of his Australian accent but it is better than many attempts by Americans!) and I look forward to the next in the series as I finish each book.

Great mix for Fantasy and WW2 naval warfare fans.

As a fan of both fantasy and WW2, especially the naval warfare aspects, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who has at least an interest in any of the above genres. Even better if you love both genres though! The characters are very memorable, story is engaging and you always want to know what happens next. The reader's voice is also pretty good and he does a pretty good job voicing a variety of personalities very convincingly. Overall, I am enjoying my time with this series and will be continuing it.

Total Copycat

This is a complete ripoff of 'The Lost Regiment' series by Forstchen. Group of soldiers / sailors picked up by mystery storm and dumped in another / alternate world. They use their technology to save the gentle folk from the monster folk.
