Alternate Realities: A Scifi Book Club discussion

Lieutenant Jim Fraser was in turns eager and terrified. His Bravo Company led the American offensive to liberate Charleston, but would his wife Florrie and their twin girls trapped behind German lines survive the coming battle?

Consider another Second World War. Due to a twist of history during his youth, Adolph Hitler turns west and out to sea against England and America in alliance with fascist Japan and Italy. After the British Empire falls, the Axis turn on an outnumbered and unprepared United States. Instead of being waged in far off lands, total war rages across the Hawaiian Islands and South Carolina, down our streets and into the homes of our families.


​
Wolves at the Gate is the first of a series of novels telling the story of that war.

Book info: Wolves at the Gate is styled as Robert Conroy’s 1942 meets Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain, with the epic multiple perspectives of Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth. The novel differs from most other WWII fiction in its focus on the overlooked ordinary people on both sides caught up in the horrific battles antiseptically portrayed in history books.

Outstanding book, Bart! I just finished it. Couldn’t put it down. I’ll be writing my review in the next couple of days, but first I have to ask, when will the next one be available? I have to find out what happens! (BTW, I received a copy from NetGalley).
