Drive to the East (Settling Accounts, Book Two)
Drive to the East (Settling Accounts, Book Two)
In the second book of his Settling Accounts trilogy, Turtledove returns to the story of a North American continent, separated into two bitterly opposed nations, that stands on the verge of exploding once again.
"Turtledove never tires of exploring the paths not taken, bringing to his storytelling a prodigious knowledge of his subject and a profound understanding of human sensibilities and motivations."--Library Journal It's 1942. For twenty-five years, the USA and the CSA have been entrenched in an era of simmering hatred, locked in a tangle of blood-soaked battle lines, modern weaponry, desperate strategies, and the kind of violence that only the damned could conjure up for themselves and their enemies. In Richmond, Confederate president and dictator Jake Featherston is shocked by what his own aircraft have done in Philadelphia--killing U.S. president Al Smith in a barrage of bombs. Featherston presses ahead with a secret plan carried out on the dusty plains of Texas, where a so-called detention camp hides a far more evil purpose. As the untested U.S. vice president takes over for Smith, the United States face a furious thrust by the Confederate army, pressing inexorably into Pennsylvania. But with the industrial heartland under siege, Canada in revolt, and U.S. naval ships fighting against the Japanese in the Sandwich Islands, the most dangerous place in the world may be overlooked. "First-time readers can jump in and enjoy Turtledove's richly rearranged cultural and political landscape."--The Kansas City Star "Engrossing . . . thoroughly satisfying."--Publishers Weekly
