DESCRIPTION:
Good overall, but This is a very enjoyable theoretical sci-fi series, but it is not without its share of problems. I won't bother listing the things I liked or what's great about the series, because if you're reading reviews of Book 2 it probably means you've already read Book 1 and know whether or not you like the books. In short, if you liked Book 1, get Book 2, because it advances the story well.I think the biggest problem I have with the series is that the Lizards are put across as technologically advanced and very intelligent, but they se. Meh I read the first in the series and found it moderately enjoyable. That was enough to give the second book a try.I understand Turtledove is a big name in SciFi, but from reading these two works, I'm not sure why.The characters are very flat, and the plot is what plot? Oh yeah, somebody forgot the plot. The various characters plod through various challenges that are loosely linked sometimes. That's about all.The overall concept of the book is great. World building is very good. But that won't induce me to read the final book, . Amazon Customer said Good continuation. A very excellent continuation of the series. This is a second book of a Good continuation Amazon Customer A very excellent continuation of the series. This is a second book of a 4 (8?) book series dealing with the what if scenario of aliens invading during workd war 2. Yes you could skip the first book but i wouldn't recommend it as this book picks up right where the first lets off.The only reason it got four instead of five stars is that it does sometimes seem to slow to a crawl but I guess even all out interplanetary war cant be non stop action..

The menace worsens in this, the second novel in the four-book alternate-history saga that Booklist called "possibly the most ambitious in the subgenre's history and definitely the work of one of alternate history's authentic modern masters." . World War II screeched to a halt as great military powers scrambled to meet an even deadlier foe, armed with formidable technology that made victory seem inevitable
No one could stop them-not Stalin, not Togo, not Churchill, not Roosevelt The invaders had cut the United States virtually in half at the Mississippi, vaporized Washington, D.C., devastated much of Europe, and held large parts of the Soviet Union under their thumb. Whether delivering supplies in tiny biplanes to partisans across the vast steppes of Russia, working furiously to understand the enemy's captured radar in England, or battling house to house on the streets of Chicago, humankind would never give up. Yet no one could say when the hellish inferno of death would stop being a war of conquest and turn into a war of survival-the very survival of the planet. The new world allies were ruthless at finding their foe's weaknesses and exploiting them. But humanity would not give up so easily
