- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not too bad, not turtledove but getting there
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An alternate history book where the battle of Midway goes against the Americans when the Japanese are able to intercept the american carriers with their submarines that were late arriving historically. The US forces are then forced into a desperate gambit off the coast of California to destry the rampaging Japanese fleet.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another World War II alternate history from Conroy. After Japan wins the Battle of Midway, they invade Hawaii and Alaska and launch attacks on the West Coast. Events ensue.Rather flat.
