Title: B movie drek
Review: Lots of people love turtldove's work. I must say that I don't get it. His novel's plots are like poor versions of 40's serial stories. This book is no exception. On the advice of a friend I made my way through the whole series. Take my advice. Don't waste your time. The plot is thin and hacknied. The historical characters are flat. The characters he creates are little more than props to move the predictable plot along.Where to begin? Does anyone ever believe that the Alien's have a chance? Are the german's really this dumb? Are the people who fought world war II really this simple minded? Please.Turtledove, I am sure, has made a lot of money churning out these books. Good for him. Just pity those who read them.If you want good speculative fiction, I suggest K. Dick or Harry Harrison. Both have done better and more intersting work.
