It is January 1964 in an alternative timeline in which the Swinging '60s never happened. A little over a year has passed since the Cuban Missile Crisis of late October 1962. Red Dawn, spawned as Josef Stalin's answer to America's atomic monopoly in the late 1940s, has fomented full-scale insurrection in Washington, DC, and almost sparked a war between the world's two remaining nuclear superpowers. But the real fury of Red Dawn - Krasnaya Zarya - is unspent, and time is running out. Now is a time for charismatic leaders to come forward....

SMOKE ON THE WATER is the third book in the five-book strand about the FALKLANDS WAR OF 1969-70, and the nineteenth book of the core MAIN SERIES OF TIMELINE 10/27/62. It is November 1969 in a world in which the swinging sixties never happened because the Cuban Missiles Crisis turned the Cold War ‘hot’ on the night of 27 October 1962 and the survivors have been living, and fighting it seems, ever since. Only that spring there had been reasons for optimism at last. In the seventh year of the post-cataclysm era there was a new President in the White House, peace in Western Europe, the ...

BEAR IN THE SKY is the sixteenth book in the core MAIN SERIES OF TIMELINE 10/27/62. BEAR IN THE SKY was originally published as the second half of WON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN and appears now in its separate form in the interests of making what was originally a humongously very long book more palatable, and hopefully digestible to readers! ________ There is always the unexpected; the best laid plans never seem to go quite the way they are supposed to go. Especially, in the still dysfunctional outer regions of the once-great Soviet empire. It is election year in the United States but a new ...

THE NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES is the tenth book of the COUNTDOWN TO WAR series. It is July 1962. A train of events which has been slowly, menacingly coalescing ever since October 1961 is beginning to play out. The end game is nigh. OPERATION ANADYR is morphing from a reckless whim in Nikita Khrushchev’s head into a huge, clandestine thermonuclear gamble. Historians are frequently astonished by the thought processes – or the lack of the same – of so-called ‘great men’. The capacity of leaders to believe their own rhetoric in the face of compelling evidence to the contrary is, it ...

1966 & ALL THAT is the eleventh book in the core MAIN SERIES OF TIMELINE 10/27/62. It is May 1965. Over forty months have passed since the Cuban Missiles Crisis went horribly wrong in a world in which the ‘swinging sixties’ never happened. In America the White House is mired in domestic scandals and committed to an unwinnable proxy war with both China and Russia in Korea; and in England the first post-war elected Government finds itself inexorably drawn into still more unwanted ‘foreign imbroglios’ when it desperately wants to focus on matters closer to home. 1965 ought to be the ...

It is July 1976 and history hangs heavily over Germania - the Welthauptstadt – ‘World Capital’ of the Europa Reich with its great Olympic Park built over the top of and dwarfing the footprint of Adolf Hitler’s 1936 stadia.

For the first time since the Second World War the first city of the Reich is being opened up to the world media. While most people look forward to a festival of sport, and the Nazi regime to an ...

TEST BAN TREATY is the ninth book of the COUNTDOWN TO WAR series. It is June 1962. A train of events which has been slowly, menacingly coalescing since October 1961 in the confrontation at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin is beginning to play out. OPERATION ANADYR is moving from a reckless idea in one man’s head – Nikita Khrushchev – to a plan wholeheartedly embraced by the entire Soviet war machine. One reckless idea that is inexorably starting to tear lives to pieces and from its outset, is guaranteed to provide the casus belli of a possible nuclear war. Historians are often astonished ...

August 1940 - Chief Inspector Guy Winter has been Fleet Street's favorite detective for over a decade. Dubbed the "Mystery Man" by his friends and enemies alike, for all his fame he cuts a lonely figure at Scotland Yard, where every newspaper story is fresh grist to an already tired mill. Laid low by personal tragedy, there are many who suspect that the great detective's career is over.
