Description

THE EPIC ALTERNATE HISTORY OF MILITARY FICTION RETURNS.

History didn't just change. It exploded.
The war that erupted with a Soviet orbital strike on Western Europe now rages across the globe. Alliances falter, empires fall, and dictators drive all before them. In the White House, President Kolhammer faces enemies abroad and a nemesis at home.

War rages in every domain -- fought in the skies by stealth drones and supersonic jets, beneath the waves by hunter-killer subs and autonomous swarms, and across the blood-soaked fields of Western Germany, where modern mechanised divisions clash with old-world armies in a storm of steel and fire. No front is stable. No weapon is off-limits. And no one is safe.

Meanwhile, spies, mercenaries, and heroes thought long dead fight their battles in the shadows of Cairo, Marseille, and Mississippi.

Praise for the Axis of Time.

"Insanely clever alt-history mash-up of WWII and the twenty-first century war on terror isn't your typical time-travelling technothriller." - Wired magazine.
"Birmingham is exemplary. The descriptions of combat - both from an executive remove and a close - are terrifyingly gruesome and detailed... Birmingham succeeds in restaging World War II in a manner as gripping as, say, Herman Wouk's The Winds of War and War and Remembrance." - Sci-fi Weekly.
"Weapons-grade military techno-thriller... It's like a Clive Cussler novel fell into a transporter beam with a Stephen Ambrose history and they came out all fused together." - Time magazine.
"Birmingham's enthralling battleground mixes provocative historical fiction with socially, conscious futurism." Entertainment Weekly.

BUY NOW to enter a fractured timeline where the Cold War burns hot, the past bleeds forward -- and the next world war already happened.

This gripping instalment of the Axis of Time series blends military realism, philosophical science fiction, and political suspense in a way few novels do.

It's perfect for readers who crave alternate world books like Dark Matter, time travel fiction best sellers, and dark, suspenseful thrillers with just a touch of romance.

Whether you're drawn to alternate Cold War scenarios, books that mess with your head, or just want to fall into a unique, engaging history fiction experience, World War 3.2 delivers. If you're compiling your personal list of the best thrillers of all time, this one belongs next to the modern greats. Think dark fiction thriller meets global conflict, layered with timeline dissonance and emotional stakes.
