Robert Moore Williams 2 hr read

The sun comes up over a glassy, windless sea where Craig's lifeboat has drifted three days, and then, impossibly, a modern warship out of nowhere appears on the empty horizon.

Robert Moore Williams's 1943 story is a rousing military and time-travel adventure. Vivid, driven golden-age pulp. Read it for a fast-moving tale where castaways are rescued by a battleship flung out of its own era, and carried into a prehistoric world of dinosaurs and desperate battle.
