This is the first book of a new “active history” series by the authors of an excellent alternate Civil War trilogy. “Pearl Harbor” opens in 1934 and ends with the Pearl Harbor attack, an attack that differs in one significant respect from what really happened. The main characters are US and British intelligence officers and a Japanese carrier pilot. It’s a good book but suffers from sloppy editing and some anachronistic dialog. Despite its faults I’m looking forward to next book in the series.
