#1) Kirov Saga 9: Altered States
Kirov and Kazan move forward yet find themselves stuck in the midst of WWII once again, only the world is not the same! The consequences of all their interventions in history have now calcified to a new reality. The political borders of nations have been re-drawn, colonial powers vie for control of the undeveloped world, and Russia itself is a divided nation. Discovering they still possess a decisive edge in weapons technology they must now decide which side to take to end a long and terrible war that threatens millions more lives.
#2) Hindenburg
Another naval thriller, this will be the first in a series of alternate history WWII novels that begin with the early adoption of Plan Z by Germany and a dramatically strengthened Kriegsmarine. The battleships Hindenburg and Friedrich der Grosse join Bismarck and Tirpitz at the heart of the fleet, along with Graf Zeppelin class carriers and designs for new “Panzerschiffe” armored battlecruisers. The resulting fleet poses a much greater threat to the Royal Navy which struggles to forestall a German invasion in Operation Seelowe while guarding the vital Atlantic sea lanes England depends upon for her survival. This will be a fast paced alternate history WWII naval action that will re-write the entire history of WWII with an emphasis on the naval campaign.
#3) Argonautica: The Odyssey of Argos Fire - Volume I - Lost Empire
The mysterious box taken aboard Argos Fire does more than anyone expects. The nexus fades and the ship appears in an ancient world before the great catastrophe and flood that destroyed a highly advanced civilization in the Mediterranean. There they encounter strange craft in the air and on the seas of the Aegean, and soon learn the answer to the mystery posed by Plato so long ago—the fabled lost empire of Atlantis was real, though it is not found to be the marvel of civility the legends speak of, but a cruel and oppressive empire crushing the fledgling cultures in Egypt, Greece and Rome under its iron foot…Until the heat of Argos Fire arrives to give challenge!
#4) Keyholders Saga: Roll of Thunder - Volume I - Waterloo
Continue the journey of Sir Roger Ames, Duke of Elvington, and Ian Thomas as they arrive on the eve of one of the most significant and important battles of all time, Waterloo. Pursuing a personal vendetta, the Duke has a mind to end the life of a key player on that field of glory, which results in a markedly different outcome in this alternate history retelling of the battle of Waterloo. Yet the mystery of another key is also followed, to London where the Duke hopes to find the missing key that was hidden in the base of the Selene Horse, a centerpiece of the Elgin Marbles then being stored at Harrington House. What door it might open to another past?
#5) The Old War Horse
In mid-August of 1863 Lee’s “Old War Horse” of the Eastern theater, General James Longstreet, made a remarkable three week march by road and rail with the divisions of Hood, McLaws and Pickett, and a battalion of artillery under Alexander Porter. The veteran troops arrived at the onset of the Battle of Chickamauga, where Longstreet made a bold and skillful attack to crush the Union army. It was only the stubborn defense of Union General George H. Thomas that earned him the nickname “The Rock of Chickamauga,” and the sluggish incompetence of the irascible Confederate army commander Braxton Bragg that prevented the complete destruction of the Union army under Rosecrans. But what if Bragg had fallen to a sniper’s bullet and Longstreet assumed command of the entire Confederate army of the Tennessee on the eve of the battle? An exciting alternate history retelling of the Civil war in the West that begins at Battle of Chickamauga and sees Longstreet elevated to command the entire Western Theater. His daring and skill can be opposed by only one man, perhaps the finest commander the Union Army ever put in the field, Ulysses S. Grant. First in a series focused on an alternate history of the Civil War.
