On Seas So Crimson Dr James Young

"[A]uthor James Young shows himself to be a master of that science fiction sub-genre called 'Alternate History'." Midwest Book Review


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. The Royal Family's whereabouts are unknown, while Heinrich Himmler, new Fuhrer of the victorious Reich, prepares to dictate terms.


For RAF Squadron Leader Adam Haynes, London's destruction is the nightmare outcome of years spent fighting the specter of Fascism. With his own combatant status uncertain, Adam must rush to save as many of his Polish-speaking pilots as he can. Getting out 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 must immediately make choices that not only affect himself, but will alter the course of American national policy. Eric's decisions change the course of the entire war itself, with outcomes that shake both his own personal life and his nation's policy. 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.
