Wunderwaffe
SS-Sturmbannführer Günter Ehrlichmann has been called to a meeting with the Führer. Hitler tells him he must go and find out why the wunderwaffe (wonder weapon) currently being worked on by scientist Rotwang has yet to be delivered as promised. Ehrlichmann discovers that Rotwang's Bell is a dimension portal. When a slave worker is sent through it as a test but refuses to return, Ehrlichmann is sent after her... and finds himself in a time and place he had not expected. Set in an alternate WWII in which Ultima Thule has fed advanced technology to the Nazis, and as a result, they are winning the war, Ehrlichmann's actions prove to have profound consequences.
Described by Lavie Tidhar, author of Osama, as having "the same sense of ironic – and inevitable - denouement as Adrift on the Sea of Rains". This story was originally published in Vivisepulture, edited by Andy Remic and Wayne Simmons (Anarchy Press, December 2011).

The premise of the story is very intriguing; our protagonist is deployed to a Research facility by Hitler in order to report on a secret project; "die glocke" (The Bell) ; a top secret Nazi technological device, aka The Nazi time machine. Using popular subjects of speculation in fiction has always been a fascinating concept, but not necessarily a promise of an exciting read; it all depends on the execution.
Not only is Wunderwaffe well-executed, it also is a very captivating story and a highly creative take on a few historical "myths", and I very much enjoyed it. However, though the ending was satisfying, it felt rushed. The story had the potential to be way longer and more interesting.
This is my introduction to Ian Sales, I now look forward to sinking my teeth into his other works.
