About this listen

No one could stop them - not Stalin, not Togo, not Churchill, not Roosevelt....

The invaders had cut the United States virtually in half at the Mississippi, vaporized Washington, D.C., devastated much of Europe, and held large parts of the Soviet Union under their thumb. But humanity would not give up so easily. The new world allies were ruthless at finding their foe's weaknesses and exploiting them. Whether delivering supplies in tiny biplanes to partisans across the vast steppes of Russia, working furiously to understand the enemy's captured radar in England, or battling house to house on the streets of Chicago, humankind would never give up.

Yet no one could say when the hellish inferno of death would stop being a war of conquest and turn into a war of survival - the very survival of the planet....

While the Worldwar series is pretty far out there compared to the more grounded alternate civil war and alternate WW2 novels, still fantastic and worth a listen

Great writing and well read. Vibrant characters getting some intense action. Still newish to audiobooks, I have a decent imagination anyway but I normally read books based on tv or movies with established characters. These feel very real.

Even better than the first part.

Performance generally good- some mispronunciations- Leicester is correctly pronounced LEST-er for example. Very good aside from this

Outstanding work from the master of alt-history

I like this series especially my sci-fi and in particular alternate history stories. my only complaint is that Americans shouldn't even try to do British accents as one of the characters is from Devon & the accent sounds more like from Liverpool which is in the North East.

Story is good but British accents awful.
