About this listen
Ten years have passed since Admiral Kolhammer's 21st-century battlefleet was dragged into a wormhole and thrown across oceans of time, emerging with disastrous consequences and shattering the history of the Second World War.
Hitler and the Nazis have fallen, but Stalin rules half of Europe and Asia. The great Soviet engines of state power turn and burn to 'set history right'. Not just of the war, but of all future time.
In Rome with his lover, Julia Duffy, an older, mellower Prince Harry is drawn into Stalin's plans when a simple game of spies goes horribly wrong. Underneath the eternal city, former Spetsnaz officer Pavel Ivanov fights a running battle with the NKVD's executioner in chief as Stalin's minions fight to preserve the secret of a weapon that could destroy the West with one fearsome blow.
Moving from Rome to Paris to Cairo, Harry and the uptimers must fight a shadow war against the communist superstate and the suspicion and prejudices of their forebears. They can save the world, but the world does not want saving by the likes of them.
"A weapons-grade military techno-thriller.... It's like a Clive Cussler novel fell into a transporter beam with a Stephen Ambrose history, and they came out all fused together." (Time magazine, on the original Axis of Time series)

the ending was a little weak. Needed strong fleshed out finish and we received a rather lean one. . Still I do recommend the whole series.
Good read

Right up there, I feel I have a vested interest in the seriesWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Stalin's Hammer?
The beginning of some chapters are prefaced with the initial interactions of characters close to the time of Transition. A good touch, giving added depth and reasoning behind a characters actions and decisions.What about Jay Snyder’s performance did you like?

What made the experience of listening to Stalin's Hammer the most enjoyable?
Another great book from John Birmingham - only issue was some of the British accents but that's being a bit harsh on the narrator who is excellent. Can't wait for the next in the series!Loved it

Also ends on a cliffhanger just as the larger scale plot gets interesting.
Royally repetitive gore
