By the author of breakout WW II era alternate history Himmler's War
and Rising Sun, a compelling alternate history thriller. After
winning WW I, Germany invades America in 1920, marching through
California and Texas as a desperate nation resists.**
Consider another 1920: Imperial Germany has become the most powerful
nation in the world. In 1914, she had crushed England, France, and
Russia in a war that was short but entirely devastating.
By 1920, Kaiser Wilhelm II is looking for new lands to devour. The
United States is fast becoming an economic super-power and the only
nation that can conceivably threaten Germany. The U.S. is militarily
inept, however, and is led by a sick and delusional president who wanted
to avoid war at any price. Thus, Germany is able to ship a huge army to
Mexico to support a puppet government.
Her real goal: the invasion and permanent conquest of California and
Texas.
America desperately resists as the mightiest and most brutal army in the
world in a battle fought on land, at sea, and in the air as enemy armies
savagely marched up on California, and move north towards a second
Battle of the Alamo. Only the indomitable spirit of freedom can answer
the Kaiser's challenge.
