Description

Lieutenant Jim Fraser was in turns eager and terrified. His Bravo Company led the American offensive to liberate Charleston, but would his wife Florrie and their twin girls trapped behind German lines survive the coming battle?

Consider another Second World War. Due to a twist of history during his youth, Adolph Hitler turns west and out to sea against England and America in alliance with fascist Japan and Italy. After the British Empire falls, the Axis turn on an outnumbered and unprepared United States. Instead of being waged in far off lands, total war rages across the Hawaiian Islands and South Carolina, down our streets and into the homes of our families.

Wolves at the Gate is the first of a series of novels telling the story of that war.

A Note From the Publisher

Wolves at the Gate is styled as Robert Conroy’s 1942 meets Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain, with the epic multiple perspectives of Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth. The novel differs from most other WWII fiction in its focus on the overlooked ordinary people on both sides caught up in the horrific battles antiseptically portrayed in history books.

Featured Reviews

this was a strong historical fiction novel, I was hooked from the cover and from the description. The characters worked well overall with the story and I was hooked from the first page. I thought this was a strong start to this series and was glad everything worked with what I wanted. Bart Stark wrote this well and was glad I got to read this.

A very good alternative history novel! Totally believable, no space aliens or magic beings or any of that type of thing. It's the what if story of Japan and Germany succeeding in their expansion through war, and then turning their attention to the USA. I could completely believe this could have happened. The character development was great, the people seemed completely multi-dimensional, not simply some he-man soldier or poor distraught females. The timeline was excellent, and very easily followed. The action was on multiple fronts, and non-stop. The writing was strong enough to actually pull multiple emotions out of me, which isn't easily done.
The book reminded me of the best of the Turtledove novels, the ones about the world wars. I think the character development was even better here.
I honestly could not put this book down. I was so disappointed when it ended, I wanted to find out what happens next. I will definitely be getting the next book in the series, I just hope it's not too long before it's released.
I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
