Product Description
In the tradition of the bestselling novels Fatherland and SS-GB, Fox on the Rhine was the heart-stopping novel of military suspense that showed what might have happened behind the scenes and on the battlefield had a single incident of WWII been different. Now, that alternate war continues in Fox at the Front.
July 20, 1944.
A group of disillusioned officers of Hitler's high command plant a bomb that successfully kills the Fuhrer. For a moment, there is an opportunity for surrender, peace, and survival for all of Germany ... but Himmler has other plans.
An armistice is signed with Stalin's Soviet Union. New battle lines result in a very different Battle of the Bulge, where the legendary Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel, meets Blood 'n' Guts George Patton.
These two masters of modern cavalry tactics must join forces and push to the East, where the hungry bear of Stalin's army is readying a land grab of all of Eastern Europe, claiming war spoils they ill deserve.
From battlefields to board rooms, Niles and Dobson spin an action-filled military thriller, so rich in detail you believe that it could have occurred.

This follows on from Miles & Dobsons's 'Fox on the Rhine', taking the fight all the way to Berlin and then a confrontation with Russia over who controls Europe.
It's not a bad book, and moves along nicely, developing the characters and plot. However, it just didn't grab me and keep me enthralled like the first.
I guess the surprises weren't there? Neither was enough made of the German element in the action, since this was a facinating part of the earlier work?
Of course I have to add my complaint that the English participation was limited to a few digs at Monty and the use of Kim Philby to show how secrets were leaked to Russia!
But I guess that's part of the price we pay to enjoy largely American written alternative history?
If you buy or borrow this book, you won't hate it, but it will not be in your top 10 list.

perhaps not the most 'scientific' account of an «What If?» situation, but very well written. The book is packed with action, and I had problems putting it down.

I had read the first book in this series "Fox on the Rhine" a few years ago and while it was a good story, some of the fawning over Rommel had distracted me from a good story. Thus, I had been slow to order and read this box. However I made the decision a few weeks ago and when the book arrived, I started to read.
Well... a much better written book, with excellent characters and writing. The authors have written a book that I found interesting and a good read. Can't say much more than that!
