Into The Storm

Author: Taylor Anderson

Two World War I destroyers are still in use during World War II, and being chased by the Japanese warship Amagi. This is bad news, made worse by the squall they enter. Oh yeah, and they end up traveling into an alternate universe where there are two warring races, one descended from dinosaurs and the other from Lemurs, and no humans. The war between them is a beautiful parallel to the war between Japan and the US, and the characters know it. The first book in the Destroyermen series, Into The Storm is a phenomenal book that combines world-building with excellent characterization, political and military intrigue, and a sense of wonder that you’re not likely to find elsewhere. The interactions between the people of the different streams is impressive, and the way that Anderson constructs the plot makes every bit more appealing. The entire series is well-worth reading, but the first book hits every note dead-center. Why it’s on the list A super series of novels, but taken on its own, Into the Storm is just as powerful, serving up an incredible world with smart characters and a blazing plot!
