Summary
 Finalist for the 2025 Sidewise Award for Alternate History1943. The Soviet Union, under the leadership of Leon Trotsky, has all but crushed Nazi Germany, and is preparing for the final campaign to "free" the German-occupied states of Western Europe: France, the Low Countries, Great Britain, much of Scandinavia. Adolf Hitler is dead, killed in a coup by a junta of desperate German Wehrmacht leaders, which now seeks to rally the crumbling Nazi empire and Fascist Italy--recast as the "Federation of European States"--to resist this assault. The League of Democratic Nations, dominated by the United States, can do little against the impending Russian conquest of the Continent...yet is already preparing for its aftermath.French Resistance fighter Jeannette Guyot is also readying herself for the new world taking shape from the ashes of Nazism. Although under no illusions as to what Soviet "liberation" will bring, she relishes the vengeance being wreaked upon her country's German occupiers and collaborators. Then, unexpectedly, she and a number of other Maquis women are asked by the League's Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to take part in a covert operation. One that could tip the scales dramatically in the burgeoning Cold War, and perhaps one day help restore true freedom to France--though it may mean aiding some of those Jeannette would rather see dead...This story is set within the timeline of the author's previous Alternate History work Divided Worlds: An Alternate Space Race, also available on Amazon Kindle.©2024 Mark Ciccone (P)2026 Wordwooze Publishing
