Finished.

I certainly enjoyed Robert Conroy’s novel of a German invasion of the USA in 1901.

Not knowing a lot about the time period I couldn’t tell you whether it was historically accurate and whether the tactics in the book were the sort of tactics used at the time.

There was (as is the case with a lot of American authors) a slight anti-British feel to the book, but I am starting to expect that and it was subtle unlike say a Tom Clancy novel (though I sometimes feel that he actually thinks he is pro-British when he writes).

It certainly lacks the charm of a Turtledove alternative history novel and some of the characterisation and dialogue seems very late 20th century (rather than every early 20th); it certainly is worth a look if you have an interest in alternative history.

You can order it from amazon.co.uk.
