Title: Not his best...
Product review: I admit that I look forward to anything written by Dr. Turtledove. He is a great writer, and his stories always make you think. However, this one left me a bit disappointed. The story is feasible, instead of attacking the fleet, the Japanese invade Hawaii. In fact, not much imagination is required to imagine the treatment of civilians and POW. Frankly, none at all, everything they do in the imaginary Hawaii of the story, they did in fact in Singapore, Hong Kong and innumerable other places.The story has some good points (like the launching of the 3rd wave by Nagumo against the fuel farms, etc. [don't want to ruin the plot]). However it falls short on other areas (even without Hawaii, we did break the encryption codes). I honestly would have preferred him finishing the World Wars story (with the human race "visiting" the home world), a book I believe is out in December.Frankly, I'd wait for this one to be available at the library, we deserve better.
