Great Series!
I consider this the best rewriting of WWII ever written. The editing is not always perfect, buit the storytelling and characters are superb. The series is now at Book 26, but I recommend starting with John's awarding winning Meridian seroes first, this series sets up a lot of the time traveling parameters and terminology for the Kirov series and introduces you to the Meridian Team and Professor Dorland. It should actually IMHO be listed as part of the Kirov series , as it saves some confusion to reader's when the Profeessor is introduced in the series. I love this series and the publication rate that John releases them, you never forget the previous book as I do. at times with a once a year book. I pity the person who hasn't read this series and the daunting task of starting at the Meridian series or at Book 1. Happy Reading!
