Really exciting. Harry Turtledove's premise of an alien invasion interrupting WWII leads to all sorts of wild, but logical, consequences. Another thing I like is that the aliens are portrayed as somewhat . . . human (and occasionally a little better!). Remionds me of the best of Star Trek, TNG.
I like how Harry Turtledove continues to use different peoples lives and their struggle to survive. Also, the the use of individual aliens. This gives makes the book a more alive.
Mr. Turtledove ends this book with an event which makes me want to read the third volume.

Only in Turtledove, are the humans and the real historical events even more fantastic than the Aliens. If you like this series try reading his straight alternate war histories, you will not be disappointed. But back to this book a really gripping read.
