Weapons of Choice: World War 2.1

What happens when a modern naval fleet gets flung back to 1942, smack in the middle of the Battle of Midway? John Birmingham's alternate history thriller throws 21st-century technology and attitudes into WWII's Pacific theatre with explosive results. It's military sci-fi that's equal parts tactical combat, cultural clash, and 'what if' brilliance. Think Tom Clancy meets The Final Countdown, but grittier. Perfect for history buffs who love their timelines twisted and their action relentless.
