Summary
Communist China, Japan, Nazi Germany, the United States: they began World War II as mortal enemies. But suddenly their only hope for survival---never mind victory---was to unite to stop a mighty foe: one whose frightening technology appeared invincible.
Far worse beings than the Nazis were loose. From Warsaw to Moscow to China's enemy-occupied Forbidden City, the nations of the world had been forced into an uneasy alliance since humanity began its struggle against overwhelming odds. In Britain and Germany, where the banshee wail of hostile jets screamed across the land, caches of once-forbidden weapons were unearthed, and unthinkable tactics were employed against the enemy. Brilliantly innovative military strategists confronted challenges unprecedented in the history of warfare.
Even as lack of fuel forced people back to horse and carriage, physicists worked feverishly to create the first atomic bombs - with horrifying results. City after city joined the radioactive pyre as the planet erupted in fiery ruins. Yet the crisis continued - on land, sea, and in the air - as humanity writhed in global combat. The tactics of daredevil guerrillas everywhere became increasingly ingenious against a superior foe whose desperate retaliation would grow ever more fearsome.
No one had ever put the United States, or the world, in such deadly danger. But if the carnage and annihilation ever stopped, would there be any pieces to pick up?

The story continues
I first read these books over 20 years ago, and unlike many they have stood the test of time well.
It's always amusing to hear American pronunciation of British place names, but some others words were also strange, but it didn't detract.

Really enjoyable
Would you consider the audio edition of Worldwar to be better than the print version?
Before I listened to worldwar I wasn't sure reworking history would work. But it does.
What does Todd McLaren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Really liked his narration, as good Scott Brick, my favourite from the Dune prequels

Hooked like a lizard on ginger!
Excellent series with amazing alternate history and decent sci-fi. Highly recommend it and can’t wait to read the last book in the series. It shall be done.

This needs an HBO series
I love this series so much, almost got these books when the first came out but never did for some reason. I did find there was a little more jumping around and it made it a little more difficult to follow than the first 2. There were times when things got a little repetative or wordy and it spoiled the flow. I know that other's have criticised some of the accents and pronunciations but the narrator has a lot of work to do and I can forgive any flaws. Slightly disappointment with one aspect of the ending but I won't say what because others might feel differently about it.

Fun story, weird narration
A fun tale, but the narrator has absolutely no idea how to do British accents.
