Book description
The Second World War was turned on its head at the moment Admiral
Kolhammer s ultra-modern stealth warships were hurled back through
time from 2021. But no one could have predicted just how much of a
nightmare would ensue . . .
Only months after the Transition, the great powers scramble to
develop the weapons of tomorrow. The year 1942 is now a world of crude
jet fighters, monstrous attack helicopters, and unholy dirty bombs a
mongrel technology, born decades prematurely.
Then, in a radical rewriting of history, Japanese forces sweep into
Australia, foreign agents begin a campaign of terror in the USA, and
Germany prepares for an all-out attack on Britain.
The twenty-first-century forces must resort to the most extreme
measures yet and face a future rife with possibilities all of them
apocalyptic . . .
Picking up from where he left off with Weapons of Choice,
John Birmingham shocks and awes us with this gripping second
instalment in the Axis of Time trilogy.
John Birmingham lives in Australia, and is the author of the cult
classic
He Died with a Falafel in His Hand
and the award-winning history book
Leviathan.
Between writing books he contributes to a wide range of newspapers and
magazines on topics as diverse as biotechnology and national security.
