On Sunday 25th April 1948, Boston, Massachusetts, became the first city in the world to suffer attack with an atomic weapon.

It is now universally acknowledged that although Commander Eric Brown of the Royal Navy was the first man to break the sound barrier, he was not the first human being to exceed the speed of sound in controlled flight.

The Dutch author Anne Frank, who won the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for Literature, based her first novels on her experiences of life in Nazi occupied Holland.

The acclaimed Drake's Drum series continues in this gripping third volume.

Prolly one of the Best Alternative Histories you're likely to read.

And by that I don't mean that you will like the story, but that the story has a very detailed background. Read the appendices that are on-line, they cover armies, navies, air forces, technical developments. A lot of thought has gone into this series. That said, I'm not sure that I'd agree with the conclusions, like most books of this ilk I believe it starts with the end result it wants and works back from there....in this case WHAT IF Britain is not a bankrupt, second-rate power by the conclusion of World War Two? From that and "What if Churchill died in the 1930's" and "What if FDR lost in 1936?" and then you get this three-part, soon to be FOUR-Part series. Read it and see what you think

not a bad ending

One of the better alternative timeline stories. While unlikely to have happened if the assumptions are accepted than potentially accurate.

A worthy third entry in the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Nick Sumner's Drake's Drum series concludes his alternative Second World War in a highly original and fascinating way. The right amount of military detail is in the text to keep one interested without boring those less familiar with it, with full analyses relegated to the appendices. Certainly an antidote to the 'Nazi superscience' stereotypes, with a realistic look at the dire state that Nazi ideology would have left the Third Reich's engineering and military in after a few more years of rule. Highly recommended.

An excellent end to the trilogy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2021

When I first started reading this series I wasn't certain what to expect but I'm glad I did try it and this one is certainly an excellent ending to it, and would be well worth the read as it brings interesting possibilities that I'm sure many alt history fans would love to discuss.

Enter Hell's Gate

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2021

Another massively researched, footnotes-for-days work in Sumner's series where things go better for Britain in the interwar-and-40s - which has initially also seen things going better for the Axis, but now it's an alternate fall of Germany & Japan as different technology, tactics, people, and even weather come in to give us a quite different Allied win. The chapter telling us what happened in the Fuhrerbunker in this timeline is chilling...

Kindle Customer

Fantastic continuation.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2021

Another terrific entry in a series that is a privilege to read. The sheer detail put into these books is astonishing. Even the most careful of alternate history writers wouldn't go this far, and it shows in the prose.

There is even a website with yet more data and information, it is all spectacularly well thought through and I can't wait for the next one.

Peter Matthews

Brilliant and engaging

I have read the two earlier parts of Drakes Drum, but I have to say that this has to be seen as the best so far. The story hangs together and the Authors attention to detail is unsurpassed.
Highly recommend.
