Harry Turtledove

"Turtledove, the maven of alternate history, layers Byzantine complexities into a book with sympathetic characters and a steady buildup of well-managed tension."--"San Diego Union-Tribune."

Days of Infamy

Turtledove presents a starkly realistic view of what might have been had the Japanese followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor with a land invasion and occupied Hawaii. U.S. airman Fletch Armitage, held in a POW camp under horrifying conditions (the Japanese never signed the Geneva Convention), keeps hope alive even as he slowly starves. His ex-wife, Jane, keeps her head down in occupied Wahiawa, tending her assigned garden plot and hoping she won't be raped.
