1.0 out of 5 stars Naive, badly written trash, 22 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is so naively written - the characters are one-dimensional, the plot is thin, the characters so cliched, it's unbeleiveable. It reads and handles like a comic, with no twists, and very little plot. I should imagine that the author wrote this without much research, as some of the views given by the main characters are so eye-openingly bad it's hard not to burst out laughing. I tried sticking with the book to see if it got better, but frankly, it didn't. A complete waste of money. Please don't buy it. Bad writing should not be encouraged.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying End-of-WW2 Alternate History, 19 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Cliches can't be avoided here--this is a page-turner. Bova's point of divergence is original: Instead of Roosevelt dying in April 1945, Stalin does--at the instigation of Churchill. From this premise, Bova posits (and answers) several intriguing questions: Who will succeed Stalin? Will the Soviets figure out how Stalin died, and if so, how will they react? Will the Western Allies be more receptive to a compromise peace proposed by Goering, or will they try to take Berlin instead?

Bova deftly handles these scenarios and brings the (relatively) short novel to a convincing and believable conclusion. It was well worth the money in hardcover, and alternate history fans should snap it up in paperback. It is a worthy addition to any serious AH collection.
