About this listen

The Second World War was turned on its head at the moment Admiral Kolhammer's ultramodern stealth warships were hurled back through time from 2021. But no one could have predicted just how much of a nightmare would ensue.

Only months after the Transition, the great powers scramble to develop the weapons of tomorrow. The year 1942 is now a world of crude jet fighters, monstrous attack helicopters, and unholy dirty bombs - a mongrel technology, born decades prematurely.

Then, in a radical rewriting of history, Japanese forces sweep into Australia, foreign agents begin a campaign of terror in the USA, and Germany prepares for an all-out attack on Britain. The 21st-century forces must resort to the most extreme measures yet and face a future rife with possibilities - all of them apocalyptic.

Picking up from where he left off with Weapons of Choice, John Birmingham shocks and awes us with this gripping second instalment in the Axis of Time trilogy.

I'm not a fan of series books which leave you short at the end but it's one is different. it's not so much of a hook to get you to buy the next one but a yearning to complete what is an engaging story. Characters are real, though you have to get past the almost comical female voices and the rather dubious accents, and some of the story threads disappear but the core storyline is imaginative, and - though I can't believe I'm going to say this about such a fanciful idea - totally believable.
