This is the first of the follow up trilogy to the author's great Worldwar saga, set in an alternate historical timeline where a race of lizards ("The Race") invade Earth during the Second World War. I enjoyed the four Worldwar novels and thought it would not be long before I tackled the follow ups, but in fact it has been nearly seven years. This novel is set in 1962, at a time when the Race has conquered central and south America, Africa, southern Asia including India and China, and Australia; while Russia and the United States remain independent, most of Europe is part of the Greater German Reich, with Britain still independent but gradually falling under the Nazi yoke. The strengths and weaknesses of this novel exactly mirror those of the Worldwar tetralogy; on the positive side, a range of interesting characters, both human and Lizard, and a vivid sense of the different cultures and assumptions of the two worlds; on the negative side, the relentless hammering of the same plot points, particularly on ginger (though it has some new and interesting effects here). Basically, if you like the Worldwar series, you will like this; if you are looking for an evolving series with new ideas, this is not it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Now he expands his magnificent epic into the volatile 1960s, when the space race is in its infancy and humanity must face its greatest challenge: alien colonization of planet Earth. Yet even in the shadow of this inexorable foe, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany are unable to relinquish their hostilities and unite against a massive new wave of extraterrestrials. For all the countries of the world, this is the greatest threat of all. This time, the terrible price of defeat will be the conquest of our world, and Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
