Summary
Matt Decker and Jim Kirk take on their first doomsday weapon as captain and first officer. The incident is but the first step in their two-pronged journey to their many meetings with the fates, as it complicates the family crises both men are facing. But the journey has barely started when they realize that more intriguing things are occurring behind closed doors, threatening to skewer both their careers.
"Suppose we all do exist in a universe like that," Decker said. "I suppose I'm grand admiral of some dreaded Imperial Starfleet. I suppose Will is wanted for piracy, and I suppose you...." He trailed off at once - he didn't want to finish that thought. "It's no good, Brandi. I hate letting anyone die, even on a dangerous mission. I never thought it'd be like this with your mother. But in that universe, I shudder to think of who and what she is. All I know is, she couldn't possibly be ours."

Summary
A working-class family from upstate New York gives their all to their homeland's efforts to win World War II.
In mid-1942, the heat of combat in the Pacific Theatre rises. The eldest offspring of the Hachman family takes the fight to the enemy with his submarine, battling enemy forces from Midway Island to the south coast of Japan. Meanwhile, his younger sister, a locomotive maintainer for the Boston & Maine Railroad, and their younger brother, a locomotive fireman, discover that their self-serving division superintendent is making an illicit deal with an engine manufacturer - an underhanded deed that causes needless risk to the lives of submariners like their brother and his shipmates.
Their youngest sister has a private battle of her own to fight. Oddly behaved but highly intelligent, she has an unusual fixation on aviation that inspires her to turn her abnormally sharp eyes to the sky as a civil defense observer - much to her parents' disapproval.
In 1942, no end of the war is in sight. From the Hudson Valley to the depths of the Pacific, every member of the Hachman clan will do what they must to make safe the future of the world - even if it means the ultimate sacrifice.

Summary
"The next great history of the Federation" - The Times of London, Earth.
"[Devenish] has woven personal account and high politics into a narrative that will grip you with every twist and turn, even when you know the outcome." - The Rolls of Laikan, Andoria
