Decades ago, Japan won the Second World War. Americans worship their infallible Emperor, and nobody believes that Japan’s conduct in the war was anything but exemplary. Nobody, that is, except the George Washingtons — a group of rebels fighting for freedom. Their latest terrorist tactic is to distribute an illegal video game that asks players to imagine what the world might be like if the United States had won the war instead. Captain Beniko Ishimura’s job is to censor video games, and he’s tasked with getting to the bottom of this disturbing new development. But Ishimura’s hiding something...kind of. He’s slowly been discovering that the case of the George Washingtons is more complicated than it seems, and the subversive videogame’s origins are even more controversial and dangerous than the censors originally suspected.

United States of Japan

The Man in the High Castle meets Pacific Rim in this action-packed alternate history novel from the award-winning author of United States of Japan. Germany and Japan won WWII and control the U.S., and a young man has one dream: to become a mecha pilot. Makoto Fujimoto grew up in California, but with a difference--his California is part of the United States of Japan. After Germany and Japan won WWII, the United States fell under their control. Growing up in this world, Mac plays portical games, haphazardly studies for the Imperial Exam, and dreams of becoming a mecha pilot. Only problem: Mac's grades are terrible. His only hope is to pass the military exam and get into the prestigious mecha pilot training program at Berkeley Military Academy. When his friend Hideki's plan to game the test goes horribly wrong, Mac washes out of the military exam too. Perhaps he can achieve his dream by becoming a civilian pilot. But with tensions rising between the United States of Japan and Nazi Germany and rumors of collaborators and traitors abounding, Mac will have to stay alive long enough first...

Mecha Samurai Empire

California, 2020. After a severe injury, ace mecha designer and pilot Reiko Morikawa is recruited to a secret organisation plotting a revolt against the corrupt governor (and Nazi sympathiser) of the United States of Japan. When their plan to save the USJ from itself goes awry, the mission is only saved from failure because the governor is killed by an assassin known as Bloody Mary. But the assassin isn't satisfied with just the governor. And now Reiko and ex-cop Bishop Wakanda are hot on the trail of Bloody Mary, trying to stop her before it's too late.

Cyber Shogun Revolution

La deslumbrante novela que el Financial Times recomendó como una de sus lecturas de verano de 2016. La secuela espiritual de El hombre en el castillo, de Philip K. Dick, que se ha convertido en uno de los títulos de 2016 más esperados por io9, Publishers Weekly y Kirkus Reviews. Hace unas décadas, Japón ganó la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los estadounidenses adoran a su infalible emperador y nadie cree que la conducta de Japón en la contienda no fuera ejemplar. Nadie excepto los George Washingtons, una facción proestadounidense que intenta recuperar la gloria de los viejos Estados Unidos. Su última táctica subversiva es distribuir un videojuego ilegal que pide a los jugadores que imaginen cómo sería el mundo si Estados Unidos hubiera ganado la guerra. El capitán Beniko Ishimura se dedica a captar posibles traidores, cuando un día recibe una misteriosa llamada del general Mutsuraga, y su vida se convierte en una montaña rusa que le llevará a conocer a Akiko Tsukino, una oficial de la policía de Tokio que intenta descubrir la relación de Ishimura con el videojuego que algunos insurgentes están usando para avivar el nacionalismo estadounidense. Pero los orígenes del videojuego subversivo son aún más polémicos y peligrosos de lo que nadie sospecha... Reseñas: «Un acertado retrato de los horrores de la opresión, que es también una carta de amor a la cultura pop japonesa.» Financial Times «Una aguda defensa de la esperanza sobre la brutalidad. Estados Unidos de Japón es absolutamente brillante.» Ken Liu, autor de La gracia de los reyes «Un patchwork perfecto de varios subgéneros de ciencia ficción y anime convertidos en novela.» Esquire
