The constant tension of Jews vs Reich

What will happen next? A standalone book. One of the best of Turtledove’s. You can really feel what the characters are experiencing.

German Gorbachev

nice touch adding a Jewish community, that survived the war. the book really does not go into how Germany wins; but that is really not the point. this story is basically about a 3rd Reich Gorbachev, and the ancillary character s of the early 1990's. the story is enjoyable with the characters, just sort of predictable.

Distractedly over-enunciated German

The narrator is clearly excellent in English, but over-enunciates any and all German ways in a way that is grating. For example, the main character’s 2-syllable name (Heinrich) gains an extra syllable (becoming Hein-er-ich). This may be a minor complaint, but over the course of a 15+ hour book, it becomes a major distraction.

Living Secretly Under the Nazis

Really interesting alt historical fiction. Read after the fantastic SSGB alt history mystery set in Great Britain. Some very tense moments, lots of bridge hands, but not depths of graphic brutality as in Man in the High Castle video, I honestly cannot remember book details to that degree; I sadly know how realistic MITHC was, but it was extremely tough to watch and most folks I know gave up with certain horrific events.
I think great optimism as re: fall of USSR, Arab Spring. Written 2019.

Worth fighting through the endless bridge talk

The book is good at the end of the day. If you don't play bridge there are some seemingly endless stretched with painful detail about games of bridge. If you can get past that the book is pretty interesting.
