About this listen

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.

Good story, poor narrator

I'm used to high quality narrators and this one seemed more along the lines of an amateur despite his "professional" experience as the voice of Bob the Builder. I think it's a real shame that Dufris narrated the whole series. I want to listen, but there's no way it's worth paying.

Please redo this series with RC Bray, or someone of that caliber who can really pull off unique voices and get across nuances of speech.

Well worth the listen

Very entertaining,,,, a truly good story,,, the narrators voice characterizations were pretty good,,, had to smile when he softened his voice to depict the feminine characters. First book in an extensive series,,, I will undoubtedly will be getting into the next,, possibly all.

Quit your whining about the narration!!!!!!

I think that William Dufris did an absolutely amazing job of this great book!!! The way he made the character voices was great, the story was well told, I really enjoyed it. To all those who gave a negative review of the narration of this book, listen to something else like Columbus Day or ruins of the Earth, narrated by RC Bray of course. Don't listen to that negative review, this book is great, and you will love it. This book, gripped me so tight, made me laugh and smile, it was a roller coaster ride that I loved.
