Pressed into service when World War II breaks out in the
Pacific, USS Walker--a Great War-vintage
"four-stacker" destroyer--finds itself in full retreat from
pursuit by Japanes 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, but emerges somewhere else...
Familiar landmarks appear, but the water teems with vicious,
monstrous 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.
Walker, with its steam power and weaponry, could by
its very existence 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 whatever side
they choose will be the winner...
