The Great Martian War: The Grand Alliance

by Scott Washburn

The war between Humanity and the Martian invaders continues! Despite the advanced technology of the aliens, which has allowed them to overrun and occupy large parts of Earth, the plucky humans, using ingenuity and raw courage have begun to turn the tide. But even after six years of bloody conflict, the Martians have not given up. Though their recent plan to link up their forces in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East was thwarted, they now have a new plan which will strike deep into the heart of Europe. Much depends upon the success of this plan, but the Martians must now also deal with widening cracks within their own ranks.In the face of this new threat Winston Churchill must forge the fragile conglomeration of nations he used to stop the earlier Martian assault along the Dardanelles into a mighty Grand Alliance capable of meeting and beating the terrible alien tripod machines and searing heat rays in open battle. New weapons and new strategies will help, but victory will be in the hands of the men and women in the front lines. The fate of Mankind may well be decided along the banks of the Vistula River.

Very good story. Excellent continuity with the previous books. Looks like the Martian forces may be starting to fracture!

If I ever meet Scott Washburn the first thing I will ask of him is forgiveness.
I’d done the thing you’re not supposed to do. I looked at the cover and the publisher and I assumed that this series was going to be a barely serviceable, poorly edited, Harry Turtledove clone like what you see on Amazon.
I was horribly wrong.
The series is actually extremely good. I consider it superior to many alternate history books published by “reputable” publishers with professional covers. I’d also say that unlike a lot of series where the quality runs out of momentum Washburn’s books are consistently good, with the exception of this novel, which I consider to be the best book of the series.
