Reviews

Praise for "Last Orders"
""
From our perspective seventy years later, we re accustomed to thinking of WWII s outcome as being inevitable. Not so, says [Harry] Turtledove. . . . Disdaining broad brush strokes, Turtledove s focus on the characters serves to fill out the big picture with patient, nitty-gritty detail. It s all quite plausible. . . . Armchair warriors will have much to ponder. "Kirkus Reviews"
