About this listen
In the year 2021 a multinational fleet - experimenting with untested weapons technology - pitched through time, crash-landing in 1942. The world is thrown into chaos as Roosevelt, Hitler, Churchill, Tojo, and Stalin scramble to adapt to new, high-tech killing tools and 21st-century ways of war.
For "uptimers" like Britain's Prince Harry and the men and women who serve aboard the supercarrier USS Hillary Clinton, war is a constant struggle with their own downtime allies, who are mired in ignorance and bigotry.
As the Allies counter the Nazi assault and set off for the coast of France, Japan begins to buckle; soon every battle will be played out in a lethal dance of might and intelligence, unholy alliances and desperate gambles, and each clash will be fought with the ultimate weapon: knowledge from the future.
Thanks to the historical records, all sides know that two superpowers will emerge, while the losers will be pounded into submission. But time has shifted on its axis, so none know who will survive or how peace will take hold in a world turned upside down. These are the questions that John Birmingham brilliantly answers in his critically acclaimed adventure of war and imagination.

Good time travel books
Where does Final Impact rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I have all three of the audio books in this series and got through the them in 1 week.Te way the story develops is well paced and you get a good feel for the story. The way the groups in the books play off against each other is well thought out and the action is exciting. The way the futuristic weapons are used and historical characters portrayed is believable.

Totally brilliant - gripping to the very end
Oh wow! I have read many time travel books, but this alternative history trilogy has me gagging for more; brilliantly envisaged and with many plot twists, it felt very real. The way the past/future technology mash-up was described felt very plausible and the various key characters were well developed. Narration was excellent, as in the previous books. I really hope that the author decides to extend the trilogy with further alternative timeline(s).

Good ending to the trilogy
I found this book a very good ending to the trilogy but it's left the ending of the murderer to our imagination and it would've been better to actually hear the authors ending.

Interesting concept
Really interesting story - lots of funny cultural references for back in the day. Good mix of old and new ideas. Kept me wanting to find out what happened

review title says it all. story is adequate, narrator is simply awful. cannot pronounce any city outside the US. female voices with regional accents are laughable
