I just started reading a new book by the title "Crush Depth". It is set about 10 years from now. According to the prologue, a military coup occurs in Germany and a Hohenzollern descendant is placed upon a restored throne as a figurehead (while the country is run by an aggressive military), and it links up withh an extremist Boer group which violently seizes control of South Africa. The new allince quickly makes its intention of world domination know.

Before any shots are even fired, France surrenders.

I was laughing so hard that I couldn't read much past that, and almost didn't want to - because it was such a perfect moment. I really hope the rest of it doesn't suck.

I really should proofread for typos before posting.

Actually, it's the third book in the series. And yes, it does suck. Big time. Very early on, the Germans do something that would have resulted in a US strategic laydown on Germany.
