Publisher Description

No one could stop them—not Stalin, not Togo, not Churchill, not Roosevelt...

The invaders had cut the United States virtually in half at the Mississippi, vaporized Washington, D.C., devastated much of Europe, and held large parts of the Soviet Union under their thumb.

But humanity would not give up so easily. The new world allies were ruthless at finding their foe's weaknesses and exploiting them. Whether delivering supplies in tiny biplanes to partisans across the vast steppes of Russia, working furiously to understand the enemy's captured radar in England, or battling house to house on the streets of Chicago, humankind would never give up.

Yet no one could say when the hellish inferno of death would stop being a war of conquest and turn into a war of survival—the very survival of the planet...

"The book continues the WorldWar arc and continues where the first book leaves off. Still, I've run into the same issue I had with the first book as the narration is too straight with no noticable gap between narrative scenes that would be in the book. This is especially hard when names are not used right away in the beginning of the next scene. Overall the book is very good and great continuation of the series."

Overall Performance:
" Another fun alternate history book. It is not as good as the first in the series, though: a few of the middle chapters dragged on too long, and Turtledove has a habit of repeatedly summarizing the situation of the characters which, while helpful, doesn't add anything to the story except length. "
