History is rewritten in an instant as the future smashes into the past, and high-tech hardware goes head to head with World War Two technology. In the chaos that ensues, thousands are killed, but the maelstrom has only just begun. The veterans of Pearl Harbor have never seen a helicopter, or a cruise missile - let alone nanotechnology, ceramic bullets, and F22 Raptor stealth jetfighters.
Allied and Axis forces are then caught in a desperate struggle to gain the upper hand - each hoping to tip the balance with a fist full of 21st-century firepower. What happens next is anybody's guess - and everybody's nightmare.
Listen to the entire Axis of Time trilogy.©2005 John Birmingham (P)2009 Audible, Inc.Listeners also enjoyed...

Fantastic narration

Fast forward to this book - and I'm fascinated with the world created. I do whence each and every time the flagship Carriers name is mentioned - but aside from that I've really enjoyed it. I appreciate the author captured the mindset of the day - that could end someone in the world of today.
Really good read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this to people who like military/political fiction and time travel. A multinational battlegroup from an alternate post 911 future (2020s) where Hillary Clinton had been president following Bush including forces from: Britain, USA, Indonesia, Australia, and a single ship from Japan along with some military forces (such as marines) from other countries including Germany and Russia are thrust back into WWII just prior to the battle of midway. The pop into the middle of the night in the middle of the American fleet heading to midway who, of course, spot the single Japanese ship and the opening is the WWII forces fighting the automatic defenses of the future forces since the shift through time knocked everyone out.Who was your favorite character and why?
There are so many different characters and I enjoy many of them.Which character – as performed by Jay Snyder – was your favorite?
The Admiral.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
WWII vs 2020 global culture epic clash and proceed to change the playing field in WWII. Who will fall on the axis and who will join the allies in this alternate history?Any additional comments?
I enjoyed all three books. The author thought through the cultural clashes, the backlash against the future troops from WWII era individuals, how arrivals would change the playing field -- including who uses the first nuclear weapon and where.A ship named Hillary Clinton

great story

It’s a very interesting concept sprinkled with high technology and character interactions. Not all of the battles are centered on military warfare; it’s an explanation on a brewing cultural background as well. It’s a brutally honest and straightforward explanation of present day people trust into the past where expectations, gender roles, race relations and international relationships were quite different from the present day world.
I’d highly recommend this book and I look forward to following their journey and continuing adventures during World War 2 and beyond. The future comes early and not everyone’s ready.
A Brilliant Alternate History Adventure

It had potential

Clearly these people came from a future not own, and that might have been some what hard to swallow.
Once you realize that their future is not our own the story becomes more readable.
There are many give always from the technical details, many of the things said haven't been created yet. The same yet not the same. I had a hard time with the names of the ships, and what they where made of. It would be cool if our navy has half the things talked about. If anyone thought these could be our ships, they would be sadly mistaken.
Could our present day navy beat a 1942 Japanese navy, hell yes it could. Is the navy in this story our future navy, not for many, many more years.
Mixed feelings about this one.
