New WWII Novel

FALL EAGLE ONE, recently published on Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace, is a novel about a fictional Luftwaffe mission to kill FDR by flying from Norway to the USA and destroying the White House with first generation "smart bombs." Technical details about prototype unlra long range bombers, in-flight refueling technology, and Allied code breaking at Bletchly Park are highlighted. The story opens with a wildlife photographer finding a German bomber melting from a glacier on Ellesmere island in the Canadian Arctic. His subsequent article sparks the memory of a former codebreaker, who relates his memories of the incident. Here is a link to the catalog: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062EU4DG

 

Sounds like a Clive Cussler novel doesn't it.

 

belasar,

It's in the same genre. The first two chapters may be read free by checking "Inside Book" on the catalog page.

 

I have found Cussler to be a fun 'holiday' book to read generaly, but you really have to suspend disbelief. Thanks for the link and welcome to the forum, hope you will find other items here interesting and choose to join in!

 

Already been done - 1945 by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen

 

The Amazon.com "product description of 1945 states: "An alternate-world retelling of the events of 1945 considers what would have happened if the fictional super weapons of the Luftwaffe had been real.:

FALL EAGLE ONE occurs in 1943-44 and is a "techno-thriller" involving actual aircraft, weapons, and in-flight refueling technology that existed at the time. It involves a targeted mission by the Luftwaffe to kill FDR prior to the 1944 elections. Missions to assassinate the Big Three were discussed at the time in the German High command, as documented in the memoirs of Hajo Herrmann, Otto Skorzeny, and others. No "alternate history" is involved in FALL EAGLE ONE.
