Atomic bombs have been
exchanged. The world after WWII is much
different in this alternate reality.
The world is at war again and it is the war that Douglas McArthur
feared, where the
Turtledove provides insight
to how those who dropped the bombs feel and how those who have survived the bomb
are struggling to exist.
Tankers, survivors on both
sides, pilots and bar keeps all have stories in this book. That is it's strength and it's
weakness. It reads very disjointed and
there are way too many characters to keep a train of thought as to who is doing
what.
I love Turtledove's
characterizations, the life that he brings to them but this book was a struggle
to read.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
