English Summary/英文概要： By the author of breakout WW II era alternate history Himmler’s War, another compelling alternate history thriller. With American loss at the Battle of Midway, Japan runs rampant in the Pacific.
It is the summer of 1942 and what our historians have called the Incredible Victory in the Battle of Midway has become a horrendous disaster in the world. Two of America’s handful of carriers in the Pacific have blundered into a Japanese submarine picket line and have been sunk, while a third is destroyed the next day. The United States has only one carrier remaining in the Pacific against nine Japanese, while the ragtag remnants of U.S. battleships – an armada still reeling from the defeat at Pearl Harbor – are in even worse shape.
Now the Pacific belongs to the Japanese. And it doesn’t stop there as Japan thrust her sword in to the hilt. Alaska is invaded. Hawaii is under blockade. The Panama Canal is nearly plugged. Worst of all, the West Coast of America is ripe destruction as bombers of the Empire of the Sun bombard West Coast American cities at will.
Despite these disasters, the U.S. begins to fight back. Limited counterattacks are made and a grand plan is put forth to lure the Japanese into an ambush that could restore the balance in the Pacific and give the forces of freedom a fighting chance once more.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 继作者以第二次世界大战爆发期间在历史上起到决定性意义的希姆莱战争为题材编写的小说之后，另一本扣人心弦的假想历史恐怖小说。随着美国在中途岛战役中的失败,日本在太平洋地区日渐猖狂起来。
这是1942年的夏天,我们的历史学家称之为中途岛战役中难以置信的胜利，然而它已经变成了世界上一场可怕的灾难。在太平洋地区，两艘美国人的舰艇慌乱中闯进一条日本潜艇的哨兵警戒线，之后，他们都被沉没了，然而第三搜舰艇在第二天被摧毁了。美国只有一艘舰队留在太平洋对抗九艘日本舰艇,而残存的美国战舰——一艘舰队仍然停留在珍珠港——它的状态甚至更糟。现在太平洋属于日本人。而且，日本人并不满足这块地方，因为日本尽力将它的尖刀刺向更多的地方。阿拉斯加被侵略了。夏威夷正处于封锁之中。巴拿马运河几乎被堵住了。最糟糕的是,美国西海岸被全面破坏，同时，太阳帝国的轰炸机正肆意轰炸美国西海岸的城市。
尽管面临这些灾害,美国开始绝地反击。美国做了几次有限的反击而且提出了一个大计划来诱使日本人不知不觉中进入埋伏圈,这样可以扭转太平洋战局的失败以及再一次给予自由的力量一次势均力敌的机会。(Susie)
