[edit] Plot summary
The point of divergence happens in 1941 when Hitler's astrologer convinced him that attacking the Soviet Union was a bad idea and the German nuclear weapons program saw better progress. Fifty years later, the truce between the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, and the North America Union is still holding. The main character, Peter Halifax, finds himself betrayed by the British underground and forced into a life as a slave to a Nazi household, but is later rescued by the Polish resistance.
