Destroyermen is an Alternate History series, it centers around the crew of USS Walker, a World War II destroyer who are catapulted to an alternate world after a disastrous Allied defeat at Java. The new world is right out of prehistory: dinosaurs roam the lands, and the oceans are home to swarms of man-eating fish and giant reptiles. They've also gone from one war to another, for here two very different species have just started up a fight for survival again after several thousand years. On the one side are the Lemurians, (or 'Cats, as the Americans call them) lemur-like sea-goers who have lived a rather peaceful existence until now. On the other side are the Grik, savage raptor-like reptiles hell-bent on hunting the 'Cats to extinction.

Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy, and the crew of USS Walker (DD-163), have located USS Mahan (DD-102), and are preparing to take the fight to the Grik. Reddy personally leads the first land assault against the Griks to defend a warrior tribe of Monkey-Cats. Japanese BattleCruiser Amagi is discovered by aerial reconnaissance in a Grik Armada on an obvious heading to Walker's Location. In a repeat of actual history Reddy orchestrates another evacuation of Surabaya. Surface Action ensues.
