WORLDWAR: STRIKING THE BALANCE

by Harry Turtledove ‧ RELEASE DATE: Dec. 1, 1996

Final installment of Turtledove's long alternate-history Worldwar saga (Upsetting the Balance, 1996, etc.), in which the progress of WW II is disrupted by lizardlike alien invaders. A conservative and ancient race, the aliens--they sent out probes a thousand years ago--were expecting to go up against pikemen and armored knights on horseback. Instead, they're facing nuclear weapons and a world that has united against them. A cast of thousands with a plot to match, well-drawn if unoriginal aliens, a wealth of fascinating speculation--and scope for any number of sequels.
