One of the issues of alternative fiction is creating the opening scenerio that starts the chain of events that would have happened if "what if" had happened to begin with. The indication of good alternative fiction book is one that makes it all believable that this could have really happened. There are books in this genre that instead of one or two changes creating a cascade authors want to change a whole slew of events in a single moment losing crediability.
Fortunately, this book is not one of those. Conroy started the book with simple event that would have immense impact on the direction of the war and how he lays it out is very believable. What follows is a great story line that keeps the reader engaged. Suprisingly, some of the main players on the German side aren't who you would think.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys alternative history fiction. Its fast past reading makes it pager turner. The only disappointment was that the ending seemed kind of rush as if there was a limitation to the remain number of pages that he could use; otherwise, this was a great read.
