Plot

Departing from actual history, the novel depicts a fictitious Japanese invasion and conquest of Hawaii in late 1941, in the wake of an attack on Pearl Harbor far more successful than happened in reality, and the ensuing struggle by the United States to regain the islands in 1942.

Awards

In 2010, the novel won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History.
