Synopsis
July 2, 1941 — The world’s deadliest war ignites months early. When the United States launches a surprise strike against Japan, the Pacific erupts into chaos before Pearl Harbor can be attacked. Aircraft carriers roar into battle, Marines hit beaches still under construction, and Japanese admirals scramble to react. From the Aleutian Islands to the heart of the South Pacific, The Rising Sun Falls First is a high-stakes alternate history thriller, rich with authentic military detail and gripping “what-if” scenarios. Dennis Bosze delivers a pulse-pounding narrative where courage, sacrifice, and strategy collide to change the course of history. For fans of Harry Turtledove, Jeff Shaara, and military thrillers that blend historical accuracy with explosive action, this is a story that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
