Book Log 2014 #38: Two Fronts by Harry Turtledove
World War II drags on, with Germany back to fighting a two front war. The Russian front is clearly the more active of the two, while fighting on the Western front has started again, but with a notable lack of intensity (though the British are now able to bomb Germany in daylight, and the Axis seems to be putting on a push in North Africa).
Japan continues to dominate the Pacific, with the US still working towards a credible response to Japanese aggression. The US homefront continues to feel little direct impact from war, at least on a macro scale.
More things happen in the various plot lines of this entry than the previous one, though it still feels like not enough progress has been made with just one book left. Still, there are some suggestions - German political instability and a reference to Oak Ridge - that suggest how the end may come.
