Publisher's Summary:
The Cuban Missiles Crisis didn't end peacefully and the "swinging sixties" didn't happen.
On Saturday October 27th, 1962 American and Soviet geopolitical brinkmanship resulted in the most terrible war in human history. The forever changed world that remained when the thermonuclear fires had burned themselves out is the world of Timeline 10/27/62.
Love is Strange is Book Two of the alternative history series Timeline 10/27/62.
Love is Strange picks up the story a year and a month after the terrifying events in Operation Anadyr, Book One of the Timeline 10/27/62 Series. In a partially devastated world in which people are beginning to discover what actually happened and who their friends really are, chaos and disintegration threaten and old allies drift like sleepwalkers towards new wars.
The USA has assumed a new global hegemony and written off its old European allies. Therein lie the seeds of a generational conflict, but nobody in Washington wants to hear that kind of news, or recognize that the laurels of victory might in time come to crush the seemingly invincible American eagle.
In a Britain ravaged by nuclear war in which the survivors are struggling to come to terms with the cataclysm, questions are being asked about the reasons why, and how what remains of the nation will survive in the new world. Out of the catastrophe new leaders are beginning to emerge and there is a growing consensus that one day there will be a reckoning.

Quite
Jaded Limey expresses cynical views on the US, using an alternative history of the Cuban missile crisis to substitute for Western Union. Some sections are repeated verbatim from the previous novel. The author has the distinction of probably being the only person ever likely to write romantic scenes involving Margeret Thatcher,which were so appalling, that most American readers would probably start to yearn for a return to the Yank-bashing.
Just gets better!
This is developing into a fascinating storyline!
The dialogue and plot are first rate, I particularly enjoyed the British government workings and the bringing in of a famous female politician into the storyline.
A bit confusing if you are an American
Great story! I particularly care for the political machinations. I would live to read about the behind scenes in the White House 24 hours before and after the start of the war !
I love alternate history
More poorly written than the first book (there were entire halves of chapters seemingly copy-pasted from Operation Anadyr!), with long rambling expositions that were essentially meaningless. I suspect that the author is trying to hide the completely unbelievable storyline. I love alternate history, but the main plot in this story is just too much to believe.
What's worse is that the writing, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation, was just so bad that I had a difficult time finishing the book. Really disappointing, and I feel that I was ripped off somewhat.
Entertaining if not plausible
Better then book. More complete. Not to be read by anyone who believes the USA is always right but entertaining if not totally plausible. Definitely will read volume 3 to see what happens.
