It’s December 8, 1941… The day after Pearl Harbor… The Nazis have the A-bomb… We don’t. Washington D.C. and Manhattan disappear beneath nuclear mushroom clouds. Stripped of its congress, judicial and executive branches, the United States is a fractured, frantic shell of its former self; each state, a world unto its own. Germany’s threat of further attacks on major American cities like Chicago, Miami and Pittsburgh compels Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, sole survivor of the executive branch and now president, to bend to Hitler’s demand of neutrality. Powerless and impotent, America watches from the sidelines while Europe and Asia go up in flames. In search of a cause to unite America once again as a nation, the “Sons of Liberty,” a distant echo of our nation’s revolutionary war volunteers, secretly band together again, in the South this time, led by take-no-prisoners, General George S. Patton himself. And in doing so, he calls upon a group of ordinary citizens, including ex-Pan Am pilot Sam Carter and Hollywood actress Ava James, to embark on a series of missions that, if successful, will deliver America from its darkest hour and set it on a path toward the bright light of victory. The odds are impossible, the missions dangerous, and with an unknown spy in their midst threatening to wreck their intricate plans, everything seems doomed from the start as they struggle to bring America back into the fight for liberty and justice for all.

To be honest, when I bought it, my expectations were not very high. I saw that it was available through Kindle Unlimited and assumed the novel was of questionable quality. That attitude evaporated after about twenty pages. Paul Lally has crafted an exciting book. The plot is imaginative and unique, the characters...both real life and fiction....are interesting and vibrant. Whether you love of hate a certain character the reader will find his or herself wanting to see the character's journey through to the end.The author knows flying and it shows in this book. As a pilot, I appreciated this tremendously. Paul Lally injects aviation into the story well. His explanations of flying and the flight characteristics of the Pan Am Clipper do not come across like a training manual. In fact, he does such a good job of describing the aircraft and making it part of the story that it comes across as a main character instead of an object.The background events will not be quite so believable to some readers. Germany gets the atomic bomb before the United States and uses it on December 8th, 1941 against Washington DC and New York. The US is forced to accept a peace that makes them neutral and under the 'guidance' of German forces in the US ostensibly to make sure that America honors its forced neutrality. Obviously, things did not quite pan out this way, but it's an interesting background. The plot centers around a former Clipper pilot who is recruited by a group of resistors. He helps them in their quest to prepare for the day when the US can throw off the shackles of German oversight.The most exciting part of the story for me was the flight to bomb Hanford, Washington and back. The plot took some interesting turns there and Lally wrote the flight scenes here especially well.I strongly recommend this book to the general public, although I am certain that aviators and historical fiction fans especially will love it.

It's FUN to play "What if By Robert Martin It's FUN to play "What if..." and to wonder what might have happened if "this" event had taken place instead of "that" one.How fun AND clever of Paul Lally to rearrange the events of World War II to imagine and write a plausible cause-and-effect alternate history of that time.As with his first book "SILK," the degree of his research for "AMERIKA" into time, place and technology - OLD technology - is astounding. Repeatedly I found myself asking "How the hell did he find all this stuff out?"The story held together well, and it moved along smartly. The character mix was varied and interesting. Since the story was written in the first person, I presumed the story outcome would be positive...but the manner in which it transpired wasn't foreshadowed.I LIKE Mr. Lally's style and almost Tom Clancy-ish attention to detail. It's informative and moves the story along, but it isn't pedantic.Both of Mr. Lally's books read like movies, and I believe they'd both make good ones!I cannot wait to see what the mind of Mr. Lally dreams up next!

Well not really but after reading Paul Lally's AMERIKA I almost feel I can take off and land with the finesse and bravado required by pilot Sam Carter. This reader sitting comfortably at home was swept up and out of her arm chair and into the mind of a writer that took me into the shaking, shuddering, nerve wracking, hold your breath and pray, journey of a flying machine. It would not surprise me to find out that Paul Lally is a pilot, as his ability to create the sense of being airborne hits the perfect mark. His aviation knowledge from decades ago speaks to me not with flat, pedantic facts but with an energy and enthusiasm that neither bores nor speaks down. Hours upon hours of research are woven into to a tale that both teaches and engages. Writing a novel of alternative historical fiction requires marrying fact and fantasy into a “what-if” scenario that asks us to suspend belief and if written correctly we’re not aware that we are doing so. Fact and fiction must become interchangeable. Imagination at its best takes readers to places they thought they would never go and are happy to have been there. Paul Lally does so wonderfully. The characters are developed in such a way as to make us care about each one, some we love, some we despise but emotion is evoked by each of them. Paul Lally creates strong central heroes that we cheer for throughout his story. He gives both Sam and Ava strong distinctive personalities, with some underlying stubbornness and differences that combine to create a perfect duo that takes on the challenges that a temporarily fallen Amerika faces. Unified in their fight for their country and their future they risk it all, side by side. In this story of love and loss, hope and despair, defeat and victory, America is returned to her full upright and prideful position. Fasten your seatbelts indeed!
