Days of Infamy: A Novel of Alternate History

By: Harry Turtledove

Narrated by: John Allen Nelson

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched an attack against U.S. naval forces stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. But what if the Japanese followed up their air assault with an invasion and occupation of Hawaii? This is the question explored by Harry Turtledove in Days of Infamy, with frightening implications.

With American military forces subjugated and civilians living in fear of their conquerors, there is no one to stop the Japanese from using the islands' resources to launch an offensive against America's western coast.

Critic reviews

“A starkly realistic view of what might have been had the Japanese followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor with a land invasion and occupied Hawaii.... Exciting.” ( Publishers Weekly)

weird

good book but God was it sided heavily towards the Japanese made the Americans look like utter buffoons every step of the way

The book was very good. The audiobook NOT.

The readers voice grates on my nerves. His emphasis when applied is more snarky than dramatic. Don't bother by listening if you've read the book. The disappointment is almost physical.

Intriguing story! Excellent rendition of Hawaii

A very intriguing alternate history. I had no trouble at all getting through this book. Also I grew up in the islands and I was pleasantly surprised as to the accurate treatment given to Hawaii.

Quite enjoyable

Throughout the entirety of the story I never felt as though anything was all too far fetched. Definitely interested in seeing where this goes.

Very interesting.

Intriguing plot that is well developed. It considers both sides. I enjoyed the book and will listen to the sequel.
