In this dystopian alternative history novel, Britain is defeated in WW2, and control of Israel-Palestine is given to Nazi Germany, now free to do whatever it takes to fulfill its hellish vision.

Israel, 1943. Jews are amassed in giant ghettos in cities across the country. The few who remain free, do so in hiding—in the deep northern forests or closed off in attics of their sympathetic Arab neighbors. Jews like the Rosenbergs, who manage to escape the Tel Aviv ghetto by the skin of their teeth; while Tamar, a hospital nurse, stays behind to help what remains of the Jewish resistance to protect the Promised Land from its new Nazi occupiers.

Occupiers like Erich Michaeler. A newly decorated Waffen-SS officer, Michaeler is the embodiment of the Aryan race—cold, relentless, and enthralled by the promises of his new regime. But when he is wounded in action on the Palestinian front, his encounter with a certain compassionate nurse threatens to capsize everything Erich has ever believed in. Once their fates are entwined, Erich will have to choose between his loyalty to the Reich—or his love for Tamar.

A daring vision of a past that almost was, The Final Fortress is a controversial, encompassing “what-if” story. At times hopeful and harrowing, fans of The Man in the High Castle and A Nation Interrupted will feel right at home in this new historical epic.
