Timeline 10/27/62 #4
Red Dawn
It is January 1964 in an alternative timeline in which the swinging sixties never happened. A little over a year has passed since the Cuban Missiles War of late October 1962.
Red Dawn, spawned as Josef Stalin’s answer to America’s atomic monopoly in the late 1940s has fomented full scale insurrection in Washington DC and almost sparked a war between the World’s two remaining nuclear superpowers.
But the real fury of Red Dawn – Krasnaya Zarya – is unspent and time is running out.
Now is a time for charismatic leaders to come forward...
The Timeline 10/27/62 – Main Series is:
Book 1: Operation Anadyr
Book 2: Love is Strange
Book 3: The Pillars of Hercules
Book 4: Red Dawn
Book 5: The Burning Time (Available 1st July 2015)
Book 6: Tales of Brave Ulysses (Available 1st January2016)

Book 2: California Dreaming (Available 27th October 2015)
Book 3: The Great Society (Available 26th January 2016)
A PERSONAL NOTE FOR MY READERS
The books of the Timeline 10/27/62 series are written as episodes; they are instalments in a contiguous narrative arc. The individual ‘episodes’ each explore a number of plot branches, and develop themes continuously from book to book. Inevitably, in any series some exposition and extemporization is unavoidable but I try – honestly, I do – to keep this to a minimum as it tends to slow down the flow of the stories I am telling.
In writing each successive addition to the Timeline 10/27/62 ‘verse’ it is my implicit assumption that my readers will have read the previous books in the series in sequence, and that my readers do not want their reading experience to be overly impacted by excessive re-hashing of the events in previous books.
Humbly, I suggest that if you are ‘hooked’ by the Timeline 10/27/62 series that reading the books in sequence will – most likely - enhance your enjoyment of the experience.

James Philip was born in Kingsbury in London and grew up in that long-lost age when as a four-year old he was among the last generation of young boys in England whose father could take him to stand on a nearby railway bridge, at Wealdstone so that he could peer over the smoke blackened parapet as real steam locomotives chugged beneath.

Mostly good but.......
In the UK armed forces it is bad etiquette to salute indoors, across the pond they do it all the time but what do they know! Can characters please stop saying “it’s a funny old world” or some such derivation of the same. Writer needs to get ship classes sorted out as some Russian frigates are said to be destroyers which is wrong and a bit lazy. Other than that I am enjoying them, like the characters.

Interesting possible scenarios from the initial incident right through to the increasing and sudden introduction of forgotten enemies.
Characters are a little bland and stereotypical especially the fictional ones. Obviously a fan of Maggie Thatcher and the Tories of the time but balanced with Labour politicians. I would like less repetition of who characters are their functions. I will stick with the series to see how it ends.
