on the inside flap of the dust jacket, the code of 1062 on the inside dust jacket flap and the D36 code in the gutter of page 239. By 1962, Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany are the world's superpowers, fighting a geopolitical cold war over the world, and in particular over the former United States and South America.

He then mentions that he finally met Robert Heinlein in person, but did not get along with his wife.

A fine copy in nearly fine dust jacket with light wear, rubs and creasing, including slight loss at the corner tips. The book takes place in Japanese-controlled western United States (The United States lost World War II, and was divided between Nazi Germany and Japan).The man, Abendsen, who has taken the world by storm with his book depicting a different outcome from the war. More than the story I thought that one of the most intriguing elements of this book was the atmosphere of the country in this alternate reality.

The Nazi news media announces that Chancellor of Nazi Germany Martin Bormann has died after a short illness.

I´ve read tons of sci-fi and just don´t get what people see in Dick and Heinlein, it´s not even social sci-fi because everything is so stereotypical, or illogical, full of authors' voice, both unplotted and without realistic character motivations.
