Shortlisted for the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel (2009).

Stephen Baxter's superb historical thriller series tips over into alternate history as the Germans invade Britain in 1940. The Weaver of Time's Tapestry has finally succeeded in twisting the threads of history into a new shape; the Luftwaffe have pushed the RAF to the brink, and the invasion barges have reached the beaches of Sussex and Kent. Britain wakes up to the nightmare of the Wehrmacht unleashed in Southern England. As the desperate battle to hold up the invasion rages it is left to a few individuals caught up in the panic and chaos to piece together what has really happened - is this the culmination of a plan that has taken centuries to play out, a plot from the future to change the past forever? Stephen Baxter's historical thriller series crashes into the 20th century with a terrifying vision of mechanised war and political atrocity unleashed on English soil.
