Germany’s conquest of Europe now extends onto British soil. The situation is dire. The British Army is still reeling from its defeat on the continent, the RAF is facing a Luftwaffe that is many times larger and only the Royal Navy is in any shape to meet the enemy. Despite all of this, Churchill is determined to fight on, no matter the cost. In Berlin, Albert Speer has created a monster. The German war machine he’s built up is now reaching a new peak and showing no signs of slowing down. Spain has attacked Gibraltar and in a stunning power play, SS Chief Heinrich Himmler has supported a coup d’état that has replaced the Vichy regime with an ultra-militant government, whose loyalties to him are unquestionable.
The Japanese ready themselves for war.
As the war in Europe continues, the Japanese Empire is preparing for a new conflict of its own, despite opposition from the Imperial Navy. Following a disastrous war with Finland, Stalin begins another purge of Red Army leadership. With the Russians in disarray, the Axis Powers see an opportunity that will make their ultimate victory certain. With the world descending into chaos, FDR sets a course for America that prepares it for what he sees as an inevitable war. But who with? Will Japan strike first? Will the German Reich be victorious over Britain, eliminating the last bastion of hope in Europe?
I can’t believe how long I had to wait for this third book, having loved the first two I was beginning to think this one would never get published! But it was worth the wait. Story gears up brilliantly, a good fast pace in the beginning, I felt it slowed a little in the middle, a little too much romance stuff for me in a book like this, but it made up for it in the last third. Really good cliffhanger at the end and I’ve already pre-ordered book number 4! Keep it up this is a great series.
