Offstage, the Japanese still over-run Malaya and Burma – though surely that would have been a serious overstretch (which arguably was the case in reality, even without Hawaii) – but Turtledove has of course rearranged some things to suit his narrative. Some of them indeed are more or less the same cardboard people from those other series (Fletch Armitage for instance is only a transplanted Sam Carsten) and too often they repeat thoughts theyâve had previously. The cuts between viewpoints make the flow jumpy, some characters are merely irritating and others appear solely in order to push the story on. ![]() The twist this time is we get a few Japanese to follow. What if Japan had not just raided Pearl Harbor but actually invaded and taken Hawaii?ĭays Of Infamy has the usual Turtledove modus operandi familiar from his Great War, American Empire, Settling Accounts, World War and Colonisation series which all had multi-stranded narratives, each thread from a different viewpoint character. ![]() This book covers what might be termed the natural twentieth century US Altered History scenario but which I donât believe anyone else has tackled. Once more from the sublime ( Lavinia) to the ridiculous. ![]()
