Taylor Anderson's Destroyermen series is about a US Destroyer ship in Indonesia during WWII that gets spun through a vortex into an alternative Earth where humans never evolved. Anderson has now written 8 books in the series, and he's not done.
He comes from a military background. His characters are 2-dimensional heroes and villains, his writing style is very basic, there are lots of military cliches, and sometimes I have to actively skim through the banal dialog. I just wouldn't ordinarily read books like this. But the initial plot setup in the first book was surprisingly compelling, and I can't stop from buying each new book when it comes out, because I have to know what's happening.
First book in the Destroyermen series: Into the Storm by Taylor Anderson.
I love the setting and characters. Unfortunately the beginning of the first book drags a bit but I get a real kick out of alternate universes and stuck it out. I was not disappointed and recently finished the 8th in the series last month.
Tuf Voyaging by George RR Martin.
To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis.
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison.
Into the Storm by Taylor Anderson.
Read the "Look Inside" previews to see if any of these is right for you.
Into the Storm by Taylor Anderson. He's a sailor, and his naval tech is extremely well researched. The characters are a bit flat, but he has great plots, and I keep buying the latest books. His writing improves and the plot really evolves as the series progresses.
