Dispatches From Valhalla

An Alternate History Collection

By: James Young

Narrated by: Jennifer Jill Araya

This collection contains "What ifs" of military alternate history so daring their heroes would be welcomed into any warriors' hall:

• Stand on the deck of the H.M.S. Illustrious off the Falkland Islands as the Royal Navy sails into the first carrier battle since 1945 in "Fate of the Falklands"
• In "The Lightnings and the Cactus," see what happens when an unfortunate heart attack leads to P-38 Lightnings arriving at Henderson Field in October 1942
• Finally, witness Vice Admiral Lee's Task Force 34 clash with the Imperial Japanese Navy's Center Force in the novella Wonder No More.

Ten years after Acts of War's publication, long-term Usurper's War readers will also be thrilled to find two entries in James Young's signature universe:

• "Winifred," the origin story in which a lost RAF bomber crew jettisons their payload . . . and changes history
• The Victorious Meeting, a novella that not only tells the story of the Royal Navy's actions in Against the Tide Imperial, but sets the stage for A Feather Upon the Waves, the final novel in the series.
