Publisher Description

Best-selling author Robert Conroy has earned considerable critical acclaim and favorable comparisons to fellow speculative history maven Harry Turtledove. In the days after the Allies' landing at Normandy, Adolf Hitler is removed from his position atop the Third Reich, and SS chief Heinrich Himmler assumes control. Meanwhile, the Allies begin grappling with competing solutions for bringing the war to an end. But with a second wind-and a potentially devastating secret super-weapon-the German war machine is primed for a final assault.

"Conroy provides an interesting AH on the premise that Hitler was killed shortly after D-Day and Himmler took over resulting in a more robust defense. Conroy uses a few characters on each side of the conflict to portray the action. In the end the tale is interesting and enjoyable."

— Ron (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Historical accuracy in the midst of creative speculation makes this piece of alternate history believable. It should appeal to fans of Harry Turtledove and Peter G. Tsouras.”

    " Pretty entertaining Historical alternate fiction book. This genre has just popped up for me, and it's fun to see how the authors reimagine time-worn events. Interesting blend of actual history and then tweaks and such to build a tale. "

    " Robert Conroy's editor must have told him to write more sex scenes in his book. This book was not as good as some of his other ones because of this. "

    " My first Conroy novel, and very enjoyable. He makes an intruiging and generally well thought-out case for how Germany could have made the end of WWII much worse than it already was. A fun read. "

    " This is alternate history and Conroy shows he is one of the masters. This one is based on the what-if of Hitler being killed in the summer of 1944 and about what would happen as a result. Mainly, Himmler seizes power and works out a better strategy with his generals. "
