Science Fiction
On the eve of America's greatest victory in the
Pacific,
a catastrophic event disrupts the course of
World War II, forever changing the rules of combat. . . .
The impossible has spawned the unthinkable.
A military experiment in the year 2021 has thrust an
American-led multinational armada back to 1942, right into
the middle of the U.S. naval task force speeding toward
Midway Atoll - and what was to be the most spectacular U.S.
triumph of the entire war.
Thousands died in the
chaos, but the ripples had only begun. For these veterans of
Pearl Harbor - led by Admirals Nimitz, Halsey, and Spruance
- have never seen a helicopter, or a satellite link, or a
nuclear weapon. And they've never encountered an African
American colonel or a British naval commander who was a
woman and half-Pakistani. While they embrace the
armada's awesome firepower, they may find the twenty-first
century sailors themselves far from
acceptable.
Initial jubilation at news the Allies
would win the war is quickly doused by the chilling
realization that the time travelers themselves - by their
very presence - have rendered history null and void.
Celebration turns to dread when the possibility arises that
other elements of the twenty-first century task force may
have also made the trip - and might now be aiding Yamamoto
and the Japanese.
What happens next is anybody's
guess - and everybody's nightmare. . . .
From
the Trade Paperback edition.
