In the year 2021 a multinational fleetβexperimenting with
untested weapons technologyβpitched through time,
crash-landing in 1942. The world is thrown into chaos as
Roosevelt, Hitler, Churchill, Tojo, and Stalin scramble to
adapt to new, high-tech killing tools, and
twenty-first-century ways of war.
For βuptimersβ like
Britainβs Prince Harry and the men and women who serve
aboard the supercarrier USS Hillary Clinton, war is a
constant struggle with their own downtime allies, who are
mired in ignorance and bigotry.
As the Allies counter
the Nazi assault and set off for the coast of France, Japan
begins to buckle, soon every battle will be played out in a
lethal dance of might and intelligence, unholy alliances and
desperate gambles, and each clash will be fought with the
ultimate weapon; knowledge from the future.
Thanks to
the historical records, all sides know that two superpowers
will emerge, while the losers will be pounded into
submission. But time has shifted on its axis, so none know
who will survive, or how peace will take hold in a world
turned upside down. These are the questions that John
Birmingham brilliantly answers in his critically acclaimed
adventure of war and imagination.
