Worth reading: Yes

Summary: Final Impact is the third and, thus far, final installment in the Axis of Time trilogy.
The race is on to create the first atomic bomb. Contemporary history showed it was the Allies who won that race. This time the stage is different and all sides are working feverishly to be the first and create a new history.

The Germans and Japanese are both in retreat in their respective theatres of war. The Nazi’s are close but Russia is about to steal the lime-light and forever change the tide of World War 2.

This is an excellent alternate history and I hope there is a 2.4. The author has left it hanging high enough to fit another two volumes in this “trilogy”. I only hope he does.

Worth reading: Oh yes.

Summary: Events after the Transition have seen a dramatic change in recorded history. Nazi Germany is about to invade Britain and the Japanese have captured Hawaii. Atrocities are occurring in Bundaberg in the hands of invading Japanese.

All sides are making use of the 21st technology at their disposal. But the smart weapons are running out.

Designated Targets is the second installment of the John Birmingham’s alternate history The Axis Trillogy.

Worth reading: Most certainly YES!

Summary: The year is 2021. A military experiment has gone terribly wrong. A multinational Navy is caught in the resulting event horizon and is transported back to 1942 just before the battle of Midway atoll. 21st century technology, what’s left of it, has come into direct conflict with US Navy of 1942.

This is a really excellent read. How the people of 1942 compare to the ones of 2021 is very interesting and I think could actually be very close to the mark. I doubt the human race would react any differently if aliens landed under the same circumstances.
