Book Log 2014 #31: Coup d'Etat by Harry Turtledove
The War that Came Early continues, and looks like it will continue for some time when a coup changes the leadership in Britain, ending the armistice between Britain and France and Germany. Otherwise, things more or less stay the same in this book. There are some larger changes towards the end (including a cliffhanger for one of them), but otherwise this entry in the series suffers from the same issue as some of the earlier books. Not enough happens - soldiers fight another battle, pilots fly another mission, civilians suffer another indignity - and the war continues. Which may be the point - war being uncaring, cruel, and seemingly without end - but maybe not the most interesting way to demonstrate it.
