THE ROAD TO STANLEY is the fifth book in the five-book strand about the FALKLANDS WAR OF 1969-70, and the twenty-first book in the core MAIN SERIES OF TIMELINE 10/27/62. It is December 1969. THE ROAD TO STANLEY was originally published as the second half of CASSANDRA’S SONG and appears in its separate form in the interests of making a very long book more palatable, and hopefully digestible to readers! The Royal Navy has finally established, bloodily, command of the sea and the air; ashore ground forces are braced to break out of the San Carlos bridgehead. To all intents, the Argentine ...

CHANGING OF THE GUARD is the TWENTY-SECOND book in the core MAIN SERIES OF TIMELINE 10/27/62. It is June 1970 and the reverberations of the war in the South Atlantic are rippling around the world but nowhere are the aftershocks so profound as in the United Kingdom and the Argentine. For both countries the political landscape has altered forever. It is not just the price in lives lost, human grief and the crippling damage both sides have inflicted on each other and themselves. The world has changed and an era is coming to an end. Nothing will ever be the same for the survivors, heroes and ...

CASSANDRA’S SONG is the fourth book in the five-book strand about the FALKLANDS WAR OF 1969-70, and the twentieth book of the core MAIN SERIES OF TIMELINE 10/27/62. The waters around the Falkland Islands have turned into a windswept, storm-tossed killing ground as the troops have gone ashore. In the absence of the Hermes, half-crippled eight hundred miles away at Leith Harbour, South Georgia and the its screening nuclear submarines, an astonished world has seen the Argentine Navy and Air Force hurl itself at the South Atlantic Task Force in a paroxysm of near suicidal violence. Thousand ...

It is December, 1963, and the tensions that have been simmering since the October war came to a boil in an atmosphere of mistrust and suspicion so poisonous that nobody in England or Washington, DC, realize that in the background, there is a third, malignant force at work.

ARMADAS is the second book in the five-book strand about the FALKLANDS WAR OF 1969-70, and the eighteenth book of the core MAIN SERIES OF TIMELINE 10/27/62. It is October 1969. In a timeline altered by the Cuban Missiles War of October 1962, a British Task Force is gathering in the South Atlantic to take back the Falkland Islands from the Argentine invaders.

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 ...

The 1976 Germania Olympiad, blighted by terrorism proved to be anything but the great propaganda triumph designed to accompany Reinhard Heydrich’s supposedly epoch-defining peace treaty with the United States. However, far from drawing a line under the crimes of the past, the Europa Reich is riven with generational and economic problems and never has the concept of a grandiose Roman-style Triumph to celebrate the disaster of the recent games and a token exculpation of the atrocities committed by the ‘Great’, wartime generation, been more divisive across a Reich attempting to re-write ...

It is April 1964 in a world in which the ‘swinging '60s’ never happened. Two Soviet tank armies have fallen on Iran and are poised to pour down from the Zagros Mountains onto the Iraqi floodplains of the Tigris and the Euphrates like wolves upon the fold. The Shah is dead, and Tehran has been destroyed by a nuclear strike; in Iraq, there has been a coup d’état, and civil war has broken out. Only a handful of British tanks and a few thousand widely scattered troops around the oilfields of the Middle East stand between the Red Army and mastery of the Persian Gulf.

The Cuban Missiles Crisis didn't end peacefully and the '"swinging sixties" didn't happen. On Saturday, October 27, 1962, American and Soviet geopolitical brinkmanship resulted in the most terrible war in human history. The forever changed world that remained when the thermonuclear fires had burned themselves out is the world of Timeline 10/27/62.

Christy was the most famous American painter of the Jazz Age, a time when an elite brotherhood of New York artists dominated the publishing world. Christy had eclipsed all of them with his "Christy Girl", an idealized woman who redefined beauty, influenced fashion, and inspired generations of women. In Romantic Illusions, Christy once again comes to life through the eyes of Nancy Palmer. Christy, his wife and former model, as she recounts her first Christmas with Howard and his family at his Ohio mansion, the Barracks, in 1912.

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. Thirty years into the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Third Reich, the Summer Olympiad is returning to the city after a gap of four decades. 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 ...

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 ...
