United States of Japan is set in a gripping alternate history where the Japanese Empire rules over America with huge robots. Is resistance possible in the form of subversive video games?
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 is 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 video game's origins are even more controversial and dangerous than the censors originally suspected.
A spiritual sequel to Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle, United States of Japan carries on the legacy of Dick's famous alternate history, focusing on how Americans and Japanese deal with their guilt and troubled relationship to the past.

Any additional comments?
The United States of Japan was a fun Alternate History Science Fiction Novel in which the Nazi's and Japanese Empire won World War 2. The story is very well written and the characters while seemingly 1 dimensional flesh out nicely by the end. The story isn't always action packed but the intrigue keeps you going. Some parts are a little gruesome but never over the top and the science aspects never become to dry or long winded (this is important to me as I don't read much Science Fiction).The Narrator isn't the greatest but he isn't bad either. As someone pointed out in a previous review the pronunciation of Mecha as *May-Cha* threw me off a little and his voice could come off as a little monotone switching between characters but overall he did a good job.Overall I recommend the book especially if you're an Otaku.

What aspect of Adam Sims’s performance would you have changed?
I flew into rage every time mecha was prounced Meh-Cha instead of Meh-Ka. A huge annoyance in an otherwise pretty good performance.Amazing
