This novel of alternative history speculates on what might have happened had Stalin, after V-E Day in 1945, invaded Western Europe in an effort to topple the rest of the world into Communism.

Marshal Zhukov quickly pushes through the western sector of Germany, the Low Countries and into France, his huge army readily disposing of American and British forces in the disarray of rapid demobilization.

Only one person stands in his way: General George Patton, now the military governor of Bavaria, and his forces as far east as he had been allowed to push at the end of the war. And looming over it all is the specter of secret weapons - the U.S. atomic bomb approaching completion at war's end, which the Soviets may also have after stealing its secrets, plus high-tech weaponry the Nazis just barely failed to finish by war's end.
