It is July 1976 and history hangs heavily over Germania - the Welthauptstadt – ‘World Capital’ of the Europa Reich with its great Olympic Park built over the top of and dwarfing the footprint of Adolf Hitler’s 1936 stadia.

For the first time since the Second World War the first city of the Reich is being opened up to the world media. While most people look forward to a festival of sport, and the Nazi regime to an ...

Mexican troops are advancing through the South Western borderlands of New England; nothing can stop them. At sea, the supposedly invincible Royal Navy has been driven from the ...

New York - July 1976 - in a world in which New England remains the sparkling jewel in the crown of the British Empire. It is the day before Empire Day - July 4 - the day each year when the British Empire marks the brutal crushing of the rebellion dignified by the treachery of the 56 delegates to the Continental Congress who were so foolhardy as to sign the infamous Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on that day of infamy in 1776.
