By the author of breakout WW II era alternate history Himmlerβs 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.Β 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.Β The United States is fast becoming an economic super-power and the only nation that can conceivably threaten Germany.Β The U.S. is militarily inept, however, and is led by a sick and delusional president who wanted to avoid war at any price.Β 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.Β Only the indomitable spirit of freedom can answer the Kaiser's challenge.
