The Destroyermen series is a series of alternate history books, written by American writer and historian Taylor Anderson. The fifteen books in the series are Into the Storm, Crusade (both 2008), Maelstrom (2009), Distant Thunders (2010), Rising Tides, Firestorm (both 2011), Iron Gray Sea (2012), Storm Surge (2013), Deadly Shores (2014),[1] Straits of Hell (2015), Blood in the Water (2016), Devil's Due (2017), River of Bones (2018), Pass of Fire (2019), and Winds of Wrath (2020).
The books chronicle the adventures of the crews of the destroyer USS Walker (DD-163) and the Japanese battlecruiser Amagi, in the early stages of the War in the Pacific during World War II, being transported to an alternate Earth. This Earth is relatively the same geographically as the one they left, but evolution took a different turn eons ago.
The series ends with the fifteenth book of the series, Winds of Wrath, which was released in June 2020,[2] while a prequel series, Artillerymen, began publication in September 2021 with Purgatory's Shore.
