Usurper's War

Adolf Hitler is dead. Great Britain lies prostrate, subdued under a storm of poison gas and incendiaries that have turned the great city of London into a blazing abattoir. For RAF Squadron Leader Adam Haynes, London's destruction is the nightmare outcome of years spent fighting the specter of Fascism. Getting out of England one step ahead of the Nazis, Adam embarks on a continent-spanning odyssey that will put him at odds with his former employers, his family, and all three of the Axis powers. Thrust unwillingly into combat between the fleeing Royal Navy and the pursuing Kriegsmarine, Lieutenant (j.g.) Eric Cobb's makes a decision that changes the course of history. In the Pacific, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi witnesses firsthand the myriad opportunities that Germany's victory has provided for Japan. After suffering ignominous defeat at the hands of the Soviet Union in December 1941, the Emperor has forcibly removed the militarists that saw his nation almost driven from the continent. With the Navy now dominating the cabinet, Japan's government cast its gaze southward to the oil rich Dutch East Indies. Yamaguchi, as the new head of the Kido Butai, must develop a plan that prevents American interference while simultaneously husbanding the Imperial Japanese Navy's strength for a single, great Decisive Battle. Combining the first two Usurper's War novels into one omnibus, On Seas So Crimson provides over twenty-five hours of critically acclaimed alternate history. If you're a fan of World War II and "What if..?" this audiobook is definitely for you. "As a maritime historian, I was very pleasantly surprised by how true Young's naval combat scenes ring."

March 1942: Adolf Hitler is dead at the hands of the Royal Air Force. A vengeful Luftwaffe has exacted the Third Reich's revenge on Great Britain, and London lies in flames. With the Royal Family fleeing to Canada and Great Britain's Pacific colonies being ceded to Imperial Japan, the United States faces a stark, dangerous future alone. With a broad cast of characters underpinned by historical research, Acts of War examines the terrifying "What if..." of a German victory in Europe followed by upheaval in the Court of St. James.

My God, we are losing this war.-Lt. Nicholas Cobb, USN March 1943. The Usurper's War has resumed, with disastrous results for the Allies. The Imperial Japanese Navy, flush with victory after securing their eastern flank, turns their gimlet gaze towards the ultimate prize for their Emperor: The Dutch East Indies. For Commander Jacob Morton, XO of the U.S.S. Houston, the oncoming Japanese storm is not unexpected. The Houston and her Allied companions will have to fight against overwhelming odds, at night, against an enemy who claims the darkness as their own. Above the old, tired Allied fleet, Flight Lieutenant Russell Wolford leads his men in their attempt to negate the Japanese advantages in training with new technology. Beset on all sides, the American, Commonwealth, Dutch, and Australian (ACDA) forces resolve to hold out until the Allies' industrial might can be brought to bear. Collisions of the Damned is the continuation of the Usurper's War series. Picking up where Acts of War left off, this book contains even more relentless combat and breathless naval actions than its predecessor. As Japan confronts a divided United States and its desperate allies, ordinary men and women are forced to make decisions that will have far reaching consequences.
