Publisher Description
Suppose Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, Hitler, and Hirohito had united to conquer an even greater foe?
No one could top their power—not the Germans, not the Japanese, not the Russians, not the United States.
From Pearl Harbor to panzers rolling through Paris to the Siege of Leningrad and the Battle of Midway, war seethed across the planet as flames of destruction rose higher and hotter.
And then, suddenly, the real enemy came.
The invaders seemed unstoppable, their technology far beyond human reach. And never before had men been more divided. For Jew to unite with Nazi, American with Japanese, and Russian with German was unthinkable.
But the alternative was even worse.
As the fate of the world hung in the balance, slowly, painfully, humankind took up the shocking challenge. . . .
Customer Reviews
Good Sci-Fi
The overall scenario and the details of the alien invasion/culture are very interesting. However, the characters and dialogue are a bit bland. Read this book for the world building, not for the characters.
Cheers to the story, jeers to Apple
The book itself is phenomenal, but shame on apple for the poor conversion. There are several grammatical errors that do not appear in the physical version of the book and can slightly confuse the reader. Still worth buying, just wish apple did a better job.
Story itself is good, digital version is bad
The story is really great, but however they translated it to digital was a mistake. There’s a LOT of bizarre punctuation errors, but once you can get used to them, it’s fine.
