In 1942, Hitler led the world's most savage military machine. Stalin ruled Russia while America was just beginning to show its strength in World War II. Then, in Harry Turtledove's brilliantly imagined World War saga, an alien assault changed everything. Nuclear destruction engulfed major cities, and the invaders claimed half the planet before an uneasy peace could be achieved.

A spectacular tale of tyranny and freedom, destruction and hope, the Colonization series takes us into the tumultuous 1960s, as the reptilian Race ponders its uneasy future. But now a new, even deadlier war threatens. Though the clamoring tribes of Earth play dangerous games of diplomacy, the ultimate power broker will be the Race itself. For the colonists have one option no human can ignore. With a vast, ancient empire already in place, the Race has the power to annihilate every living being on planet Earth.

“Turtledove demonstrates his talent for crafting drama on a global scale by concentrating on the individual stories that make up the big picture.” ( Library Journal)

The hostilities might be less overt than in the original world war stories but the fight continues.

These are always long listens, worth it though - superb performance and a story that keeps you guessing in this strange historical “what if”

I would have given this 3.5 stars across the board but 3 stars would have been too unkind. A bit of a slow burners. Although it has a larger arc, it almost feels like several mini novella tied together. Very different to the other books having more or a political thriller than a war epic. I would have like to have see Britain and Nippon / Japan play a larger role in the Colonization series. Some of this was teased late on in this book so I hope it pays off for part three. Although I still think the sex scenes add to the story I can understand why some people find them hard to read / hear. My main criticism with them though is that they feel carbon copies of each other with only character names changed. Totally different characters do the same things and react in the same way. A good example is Reuven and Johnathan, they are different ages, come from different cultures and upbringings. But their views on love and sex are identical, they feel uninventive and stereotyped. As I said for Second Contact, Patrick Lawlor has a good voice but he really struggles with accents and the characters don't feel as vivid as Todd McLaren made them feel in the Worldwar series.
