an imaginative blend of well-researched fact and well crafted fiction.’ Daily Mirror. December 1940. The German invasion of Britain has succeeded. All too easily the country now lies under Nazi rule. After four months in a prisoner-of-war camp, Nick Penny returns home to act as interpreter for the German provincial governor. He finds his father dead, his mother crippled, and his friend Roy involved in the first stirrings of the Resistance government. When war hero Matty Cordington joins them, the three best friends are reunited in a common cause. The stench of collaboration lies over the land like a foul cloud. Pro-Nazi businessmen grow fat while patriotic men and women go hungry and cold. Life under the Nazi occupation is a compromise at every level – as Nick finds out when he discovers his sister Joan is having an affair with a profiteer to feed her family. As the Germans turn the screw, the country becomes a powder keg ready to explode. But treachery runs deep inside the Resistance itself. There are few heroes, many collaborators, and one master traitor, who can lead the Gestapo to every Resistance leader in Britain. As Coronation Day dawns, Nick sets off in a desperate race against time to reach London and intercept the traitor – and the scene is set for history to lurch once again.

    . . . 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.
