Story
Every modern city has one week’s worth of food to feed itself. Then it will collapse. Cut off the resources to New York, Sydney, or even a mid-size metropolis, and millions will soon starve. In Zero Day Code we see those immense and open, hyper-complex, networked supercities of the new millennium die. And in the last moments we see their vengeance take form as all the best and worst traits of humanity bubble to the surface.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

Publisher's Summary
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)

loved all the books, this one included
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.

Really engaging story as usual
Love John Birmingham's work. This was the 3 pack of Rome, Cairo and Paris so it blended well together. I did have to lough out loud as some points though - not because of the story but because of what Prince Harry says in parts in light of his real world situation, marriage with an American, and breaking from the Royal family - quite prophetic in hindsight!!! I've read the short for his next story and hope it comes out soon.

Another cracking effort by Birmingham
Where does Stalin's Hammer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Right up there, I feel I have a vested interest in the series
What 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?
Fitted the story and characters very well. An excellent selection of actor.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Gracie's reveal.
Any additional comments?
Well composed follow on to the original Axis of Time WW2.1 stories.

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!

Royally repetitive gore
Lots of close quarter combat, lovingly described heads exploding, spines snapping and bowels letting go. I don't remember if the earlier books in the series were less monotonous or if it was just easier to skim in print than in audiobook. And the Prince Harry fanfic thing reaches alarming proportions.
Also ends on a cliffhanger just as the larger scale plot gets interesting.
