Oh, I could think of a few other alternate histories that are worse. Try The Man in the High Castle. Allies lose WW2, USA annexed and split by Nazis and Japan. Holocaust and purges of Jews and minorities continued and Hitler living to a ripe old age.

Amazon also made a pretty good miniseries based off the book as well.

I never read the book, my wife recalls enjoying it. Awesome enough, it's available on Kindle Unlimited!

Here they are, at the top in the post from "4iDragon", on this Reddit thread:

They are in epub format. Using the free program "Calibre", you could convert them to Kindle's mobi format. The mobi format (which I always used but stopped using recently) sometimes has problems with bold text and/or cover thumbnail appearing, when using the book on Kindle, so I suggest you convert the book/books either to KFX or AZW3 and transfer them directly to your Kindle using a USB cable.

Calibre shouldn't take time to figure out even if you're new to it. I don't think you can go wrong with it, or press something that ruins the book. Once you're used to it, if a book's cover art thumbnail showing up or not on Kindle matters to you, like it did for me, you can use these steps by jhowell on mobileread forums to get the cover art to show:

" For now, if you want your KFX book to have a cover thumbnail on an e-ink kindle then you should set the "amazon" identifier of the book in calibre to the 10-character ASIN of an equivalent book sold by Amazon (if such exists.) Here are instructions for doing this:

  • Search amazon.com with a web browser for an Amazon equivalent of the book you are converting and bring up its page. The web browser address bar will have something like "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MZN2B2/...". The ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) for the book is the 10-character string that begins with a "B".
  • In calibre select your book, choose "Edit Metadata", and in the "Ids:" field add "amazon:B005MZN2B2" (without the quotes and using the ASIN you discovered). If there is something already in the "Ids:" field then separate the new information with a comma.
  • Convert the book to KFX and sideload it to your kindle device. It should show the cover thumbnail of the book you found previously on Amazon "

    Pretty much, in Calibre, use "edit metadata", make sure book and author name are correctly put, perform the steps above on that screen to ensure covert art shows correctly, apply, then use "convert books individually" to convert the epub to KFX or AZW3 (both work fine), then transfer converted file to Kindle.

    You are welcome! : )

The Man in the High Castle, not really detective stuff but a classic book that's recently been made into a TV series by Amazon.
The Eddie Malloy books, which I haven't read but have heard is a good series reminiscent of Dick Francis.

In any case I would recommend the Kindle version ($9.99) of the book

>"No, it involved one major army fighting another major army."

... and yet it was as if only one army showed up until it got cold. Entire armies surrendered without a fight. Some of those guys, several thousand of them, were given their guns back and turned them against Stalin's other troops. This would not have happened in your fantasy WWII scenario.

>"The Japanese might put up a fanatic defense, but they don't really have much war capability left."

... " ... might ... ". You really want to do this all over again, don't you?

>"It would be a bloody battle, but the Soviets don't care nearly as much ... "

Would you please stop posting about this in the present tense?

>"Either way, the Soviets do have the capability to invade."

I told you to stop! ... enough! The war is over and Stalin missed his chance! ... no do-overs!

>"Whether such an invasion would go well is a different topic."

You should write games. Now that I think of it, it sounds as interesting as a game that might be based on Philip K. Dick's The Man in The High Castle. ... terrific book!
