FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK: A NEW NOVEL OF ALTERNATE HISTORY FROM MASTER OF MILITARY SF TOM KRATMAN, JUSTIN WATSON, AND KACEY EZELL. As WWI nears its end, a German general, an escaped prisoner of war, and an airship crew unite for THE ROMANOV RESCUE. Can a world exist without communism? It’s early 1918, and the war's toll weighs heavily on all sides. Starvation and disease loom large. In Russia, a family—father, mother, four daughters, and a sickly son—awaits their fate, shivering in darkness and praying for salvation. Their English relatives have abandoned them, and their guards are cruel. Aware they pose a threat to the new regime, they know their time is limited. Yet, even the strongest fabric has flaws. An injured but capable escaped POW may be one flaw. An airship, aimless after a failed mission, could be another. A German general, unexpectedly confronting the rising threat in the east, represents a third. Witness as the general issues orders, the prisoner rallies his fellow men, and the airship embarks on a daring mission to alter fate and achieve The Romanov Rescue. This alternate history weaves steampunk elements with the era's uncertainties and the desperate courage of its characters, appealing to fans of military fiction and historical figures.
