Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy stands on the deck of the U.S.S. Walker, scanning waters that belong to no world he knows. The destroyer and her crew have been thrust into a parallel universe where World War II takes on dimensions beyond anything they could imagine. Here, the fight extends far beyond the familiar enemies of their own timeline. Reddy must navigate not only the tactical challenges of naval warfare but the bewildering reality of this alternate realm. His crew depends on him to find a path through battles that test both their military training and their will to live. The war they thought they understood has become something entirely different. Every decision Reddy makes carries weight not just for military victory, but for the very survival of his men. In this strange new world, the line between duty and desperation blurs as the crew of the Walker discovers that some battles demand everything you have.
