Pursued by Japanese battleships, the USS Walker, a Great-War vintage destroyer under the command of Lieutenant Commander Matthew Patrick Reddy, tries to lose the enemy by heading into a mysterious storm, only to become trapped in a primitive alternate world, populated by strange creatures, in which their ship could alter the balance of power.

From AudioFile:

During the heat of battle with the Japanese in WWII, the U.S.S. WALKER sails into a raging typhoon in an attempt to elude the enemy. After a disturbing ride through a weightless sea, the ship emerges into a calm that belies reality. William Dufris plunges headlong into this improbable adventure, finding himself called upon to create voices for characters of several nationalities, as well as pseudohuman creatures. His enthusiasm allows the audio to enhance the already-fine story. While essentially a science fiction tale, the text also contains numerous bons mots, both subtle and overt, and Dufris's comic timing delivers them perfectly. This production sticks with the listener for a surprisingly long time. R.L.L. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
