From the author of Weapons of Choice and The Cruel Stars comes the explosive next chapter in the Axis of Time saga.
It has been six weeks since the Cold War went hot.
In a timeline broken by the arrival of a 21st-century naval task force, history has derailed. The year is 1955, but it is a world transformed. The Soviet Union armed with history books that told Stalin exactly how the West would win. The United States and its allies are scrambling to hold the line with a terrifying mix of dwindling futuristic tech and gritty 1950s industrial might.
The Cold War is over. Total war has begun.
THREE DAYS OF CHAOS
World War 3.3 drops you directly into the firestorm. This is alternate history at its most ferocious.
For the accidental time-travellers of Kolhammer's Multinational Force, the nightmare scenario has arrived. Their satellites are going dark. An enemy armed with future knowledge and sci-fi weapons. A war for the timeline itself.
