Germanica Kindle Edition

by Robert Conroy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
Best-selling alternate history master Robert Conroy returns to World War II, this time for a dangerous last stand of the Nazis in the heart of the Alps.

GERMANICA, ÜBER ALLES!

Deep in the heart of Europe's Alps in the redoubt called Germanica, Nazi propaganda master Josef Goebbels and a battalion of Nazi zealots hold out against a frantic final Allied push to end World War II. With Churchill losing his election, De Gaulle consolidating his rule over a newly liberated France, and Stalin asserting his own nefarious land-grab in Eastern Germany, only America, led by its untried new president Harry Truman, remains to face the toughest of Nazi warriors as they hunker down for a bitter fight to the last man.

Goebbels knows that if he can hold out just a bit longer, the war weary of the Western nations will back away from unconditional surrender for Germany, and he and his zealots can remain in power never to answer for their war crimes, and able to prepare for the moment when their hateful Nazi ideology is ready once again to rise from its alpine grave and strike at the heart of humanity!

But there are Americans and a few stalwart Europeans just as determined to put a final stake in the Nazi heart. It is now up to heroes in the making such as newly minted O.S.S. operative Ernie Janek, commando Captain Scott Tanner, and formerly enslaved Czech "Jew" Lena Bobek, to bring down the dark Nazi menace growing like a cancer in the mountainous heart of the continent.

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

My next novel, "1882-Custer in Chains," will be published in May, 2015. I had hoped for sooner, but it's the publisher's decision. In my tale, Custer not only survives the fight at the Little Big Horn in 1876, but becomes a war hero and then President of the United States. Urged on by his ambitious wife Libbie, he gets us into a war with Spain with the conquest or liberation of Cuba as its goal. The result is a bloody invasion and a series of battles on both land and sea in which the outcome is never a sure thing. As always, there are a number of historical characters as well as fictional ones. Since 1882 was only seventeen years after the end of the Civil War, memories of that bloody conflict are always present.

As I've written before, I want my alternate histories to be plausible; ergo, no time travel or magic. Now, could Custer have survived? Absolutely yes. He had two Gatling guns that he felt would have slowed him down; therefore, he left them behind. What if some energetic young officer had defied him and brought them just in time to save Custer and what remained of his force from annihilation? Victory for Custer, of course and that is the take off point for 1882-Custer in Chains.

Following on the heels of "Liberty-1784" and "1820-America's Great War," Custer will be my twelfth published novel and it's still a thrill. I wonder what the nuns at now closed St. Ambrose High School would have thought.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining 'what if'
    Reviewed in Australia on 20 November 2017

    I have enjoyed many of Robert Conroy's books. In a sense he is like a younger Harry Turtledove or WEB Griffin, but more concise.
    Germanica assumes that the German High Command established a redoubt in the Alps, from which to continue the war after the fall of Berlin. The Allies feared exactly this although the Germans historically dismissed the idea as impractical. The book has some interesting characters, including a Jewish woman enslaved by a middle-class German family dustinguished only by their ordinariness; an appropriately nasty SS officer; and a variety of Americans led by a fughter pilot who becomes an OSS agent after being shot down over Switzerland.
    I wondered if the author had played a strategic WW2 game which outlined the action.
    The politics involved in dealing with the neutral Swiss are interesting and ring true. Discussions in the White House seem less convincing. Anti-war sentiments in the US were quite strong for much of the war, but news about them was censored, for obvious reasons.

    A couple of maps would have been helpful. I know publishers hate them and they are tiresome to draw but, given geography is central to the plot, it would have helped.

    This book will appeal to many fans of alternate historical fiction.

    In Germanica Robert Conroy returns to form. It is on par with his earlier work 1945. As in most of Conroy’s work, he takes an actual historical fact and asks the question, “what if?” In Germanica he asks what if the Germans were actually able to fall back into their National Redoubt and carry on the war after Berlin fell. It is an interesting question that only a few other writers have tackled.

    Conroy’s premise is interesting, the plot is logical and the pace satisfying. As usual Conroy populates his tale with interesting and three-dimensional characters. The key to writing a good alternative history is plausibility. In Germanica, Conroy has done an excellent job of laying out a plausible scenario of what could have happen had Germany been able to man a National Redoubt and continue World War II. He addresses not only what the battlefield might look like, but also evolving diplomatic relations with the Swiss and possible political realities in the United States.

    Germanica is an enlightening and entertaining read. I highly recommend it.

    Als Sammler von Alternativweltromanen musste auch dieser gelesen werden. Der inzwischen verstorbene Robert Conroy hat mit "1901" und "1862" deutlich spannendere Werke abgeliefert als dieses, aber das mag auch daran liegen, dass

    - Spoilerwarnung-

    die Nazis am Ende verlieren. Oder war das nicht ohnehin klar?

    Die Figurenentwicklung ist ebenfalls verbesserungswürdig, und das Ende kommt so abrupt, dass man sich fragt, ob hier ggf. zusammengestrichen oder einfach nur ein Konzept in Text umgewandelt wurde. Schade, Conroy konnte es schon deutlich besser.

    Great read if you're an alternative history reader. Have now read ALL Robert Conroys books and gutted that he died recently.
