they may have lost, and how it might yet be saved.

discovered that his own personal fate is also in jeopardy as his dwindling lease
on time runs thin. Realizing the dilemma that has plagued Fedorov for so long,
he rises in Tunguska, intent on seeking the heart of a gathering storm,

time, he suddenly discovers his own self looking right back at him.
The exciting alternate history of
WWII careens towards 1942, as Germany now makes its great bid to destroy Kirov’s
Soviet Russia and smash the last of the stubborn British resistance in the
Middle East. Yet plans for new weapons of war will appear, strange doppelgangers
spawned from the legacy of Kirov. Soon they will darken the
battlefields of Europe, when the tempo of technology will leap ahead to produce
a new generation of tanks, aircraft and the deadly art of missile warfare
arrives years early.
