About this ebook
In this novel by the creator of Alternate History Hub, WWII never happened, all of Europe hails Hitler, and the Mediterranean Sea is a desert.
Instead of attempting to take over the world, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party orchestrate an entirely different, yet equally ambitious plan: draining the Mediterranean Sea. With the promise of fertile new land for settlement, millions of jobs and endless hydroelectric energy, all of Europe signs a treaty called The Atlantropa Articles to bring about this new world.
With Hitler hailed as a new Napoleon, fascism becomes a mainstream ideology. Two millennia later, Europe has been united under the swastika. But the plan of a lush new land was never realized. Instead, the Mediterranean Sea has become a desert basin known only as the Kiln, and southern Europe has been abandoned. This is where Ansel Engel’s story begins. Deep in the Kiln, Ansel faithfully serves the Reich—until a shocking discovery leads him to unravel generations of lies and false prophets.

This is very much the author's first experience with writing a novel, but the experience was enjoyable. The world was surprisingly fleshed out, but there were a few spelling and grammatical errors that took me out of it. That said, I did enjoy reading this book, and I would recommend it to fans of alternate histroy.

My only complaint is that it ended. The world described by Cody is presented in a manner that implies depth and detail without boring the reader with endless minutiae. The characters react organically to vast changes to history, that, for them, are normal history and not worth dwelling on overmuch. Until it becomes clear that history isn't what they think it is...

Good story, didn't end how I expected but I suppose that was good. Not really worth $15/16, glad I bought it on sale for like $3. The world could have been expanded on more and the story a little longer, still a good read though :)
