Pushed back from Pittsburgh, by 1944 the Confederate States of America are struggling to hold their ground against an American army that seems to grow stronger by the day. While the United States press on towards the Missisippi valley, Jake Featherston's strategists in Richmond look for some way--any way--to slow down their inexorable advance.
Deep in the heartland, the extermination camps continue their ruthlessly efficient work. But when all hope seems lost for their victims, the United State army turns at last towards the Texas plains.
The fate of both sides, though, may well be decided elsewhere. A new menace appears in the Altantic, intent on attacking the United States. And meanwhile, scientists on both sides of the rapidly-moving border have nearly perfected an awesome new weapon that will guarantee victory for whoever uses ti first.
The greatest war of the twentieth century--fought this time in the heart of America--moves towards its blood-soaked climax.
