The Proteus Operation

The Proteus Operation

Author: James P. Hogan

Unlike Hogan's 'Thrice Upon A Time' (#6), here we have people going back in time physically. The story is set in a universe in which the Axis countries (Germany, Italy, Japan) actually won WW2. A bunch of a group of special forces units, scientists and diplomats plan back to 1939 to change all that, after they discovere that a vast conspiracy of economic interests in their own FUTURE had actually build another time machine that could send people and modern weapons as back as far as the 1920s, in order to forge the Nazi party into a useful tool for them. That didn't work out, and now it's up to the second group to fix this mess operating in the year 1939. Fortunately they succeed, and the world we live in now is the result of that. Neat, huh? Why it's on the list: Convoluted plot. Very cool. Lots of 'real' historical figures have cameos.
