Synopsis

The war has come to America. As a German flight of Junkers Ju 390 six-engine “Amerika Bombers” thunders over a burning Statue of Liberty, New York wakes to its worst nightmare. The Axis invasion has begun. Bombs rain down on Manhattan. Warships close in on the shoreline. And, in a single morning, the illusion of safety is shattered forever. Across the eastern seaboard and into Canada, German and Italian forces launch massive amphibious assaults. On the Pacific coast, Japanese strikes hammer Los Angeles and San Francisco. Nowhere is safe. The oceans no longer protect. The United States believed itself untouchable—shielded by distance, industry, and power. It was wrong. Across two oceans, the Axis powers prepared in silence, building fleets, assembling armies, and shaping a plan the world believed impossible. Now, that plan is unfolding with ruthless precision. The unthinkable is no longer a possibility. It is reality. As the nation reels, soldiers, officers, and civilians are thrown into a desperate fight for survival on their own soil. Command fractures. Defenses collapse. Cities burn. And the battle for the United States—and for all of North America—begins street by street, mile by mile. For some, it is a fight to resist. For others, a fight to endure. For all… it is the beginning of a war unlike any before. Because this time, the battlefield is home. And the fate of liberty hangs in the balance.
