La seconda guerra mondiale è stata capovolta nel momento in cui le ultramoderne navi da guerra stealth dell'ammiraglio Kolhammer sono state lanciate indietro nel tempo dal 2021. Ma nessuno avrebbe potuto prevedere quanto incubo ne sarebbe seguito... Solo pochi mesi dopo la Transizione, le grandi potenze si affrettano a sviluppare le armi del futuro. L'anno 1942 è ora un mondo di rudimentali caccia a reazione, mostruosi elicotteri d'attacco e profani bombe sporche, una tecnologia meticcia, nata decenni prematuramente. Poi, in una radicale riscrittura della storia, le forze giapponesi invadono l'Australia, agenti stranieri iniziano una campagna di terrore negli Stati Uniti e la Germania si prepara per un attacco totale alla Gran Bretagna. Le forze del ventunesimo secolo devono ricorrere alle misure più estreme e affrontare un futuro pieno di possibilità, tutte apocalittiche... Riprendendo da dove si era interrotto con Weapons of Choice, John Birmingham ci sorprende e ci stupisce con questo avvincente secondo capitolo della trilogia Axis of Time.
