Publisher's Summary
The Second World War was turned on its head at the moment Admiral Kolhammer's ultramodern stealth warships were hurled back through time from 2021. But no one could have predicted just how much of a nightmare would ensue.
Only months after the Transition, the great powers scramble to develop the weapons of tomorrow. The year 1942 is now a world of crude jet fighters, monstrous attack helicopters, and unholy dirty bombs - a mongrel technology, born decades prematurely.
Then, in a radical rewriting of history, Japanese forces sweep into Australia, foreign agents begin a campaign of terror in the USA, and Germany prepares for an all-out attack on Britain. The 21st-century forces must resort to the most extreme measures yet and face a future rife with possibilities - all of them apocalyptic.
Picking up from where he left off with Weapons of Choice, John Birmingham shocks and awes us with this gripping second instalment in the Axis of Time trilogy.

Shocking accents
Interesting story clouded by terrible accents that need to be ignored.
Some of the characters are implausible and one or two important players in WWII are missing and should have been explored, people like cryptanalyst Alan Turing.

The narration of Non American accents are a travesty
Please employ multiple narrators to avoid the travesty this narrator makes of non American accents

A good yarn…
Aussie accents pretty ordinary, but then the narrator is American…
Not a deal breaker. But….

Same terrible narrator
Once again I’ve enjoyed the story enough to be able to tough out the painful accents and sometimes inaccurate readings of this book.
It’s still a good yarn, it could be so much more with the right narrator.

Great story, terrible accents
Love these books, but seriously who sanctioned the accents? Every non American character sounds like either Dick Van Dyke or an East End Villain (even the women). Other than that the narration is excellent. Caw Blimey Prince Harry...

try to ignore the accents
good story, well read if you discount the terrible accents.
I pushed through because most of the accents are good.

Narrator is much improved
The narrator must have practised a fair bit before this one. There are still a few that aren't quite right, but it is not jarring like it was with the first book.
