      Alternativní historie. Píše se rok 1945 – válka v Evropě i v Tichomoří skončila. Na mapě Evropy zůstala jen jedna země, kterou se Hitlerovým armádám nepodařilo srazit na kolena – Británie. Jedinou silou, jež je schopna nacistické mašinérii účinně vzdorovat, jsou Spojené státy. Hitlerovy mocenské ambice nejsou uspokojeny – chystá proto útok přímo na území USA. Tato akce po důkladných přípravách skutečně začne – konflikt se přesouvá přímo na území USA, do okolí Oak Ridge, místa, kde USA vyvíjí a zkouší atomovou bombu. Útok je překvapivý a nesmírně krutý. USA musejí změnit taktiku a urychleně vybavit armádu novou technikou, aby mohly v konfliktu uspět. Přeložila Petra Andělová

      Valerie Mayberry comes from the kind of wealthy family that would be royalty in any other country. Obsessive and compulsive, she's also the FBI's counter-intelligence expert on domestic terrorism. Brett Garrett is a dishonorably discharged ex-Navy SEAL coming off a secret opioid addiction. A brusque, fiercely independent operative who refuses to play by the rules, the seasoned pro is now a gun for hire, working as a security contractor in Eastern Europe. When a high ranking Kremlin official with knowledge of a plan to attack the US must be smuggled out under the nose of a kleptocratic Putin-like Russian president and a ruthless general, Mayberry and Garret are thrown together to exfiltrate him and preempt a deadly poisonous strike. As these unlikely partners work to protect their human asset, their mission is threatened by domestic politics: leftist protests, Congressional infighting, and a culture riven by hatred. Collusion raises many of the most significant issues facing America in real life today. Is Russia our ally, or our enemy? Are American leftist activists susceptible to influence from aboard? How far will our enemies go to disrupt our politics and weaken the nation? Can we trust the media to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys? Newt Gingrich and Pete Earley have entertained and educated readers with three previous novels of Washington scandal and foreign interference

      The Civil War is the American Iliad, with figures like Lincoln, Stonewall Jackson, Grant, and Lee embodying heroic ideals akin to Achilles and Hector. Among the myriad battles, Gettysburg stands out, drawing millions annually to its historic fields, where Chamberlain's legendary stand and Pickett's doomed charge became symbols of the Lost Cause. Over time, the debate surrounding this pivotal moment has intensified, transforming it into the great "what if" of American history—a dreamscape where Confederate banners might have crowned the heights. In 1863, General Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia prepared to strike the North, seeking a victory to end the brutal conflict. However, Lee's campaign ultimately failed, sealing the war's fate. Embarking on a sweeping operation, Lee displayed the audacity that had characterized his previous battles, knowing this was his last chance for victory as the industrial North wore down the South. His lieutenants and soldiers, driven by a renewed spirit, faced the decisive moment that would determine the nation's future. This meticulously researched novel by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen explores how a Confederate victory at Gettysburg could have altered the course of history, capturing true heroism and glory in America's darkest hour.
