It's 1956. And a very different world from the one you'd expect. Germany won World War II and the Nazi project is in full flow. Lebensraum is expanding. The extermination project has spread to Slavs. Defeated Britain is irrelevant and the United States is pursuing an isolationist policy, hoping Nazism never makes it to the Americas. The main Axis powers of Germany and Japan have pretty much -divided territory between them. To commemorate a victorious war, the two powers host the annual Axis Tour, a continental motorcycle race. The previous year, it was won for the first time by a girl: Adele Wolfe disguised as her brother Felix.
And this is where Yael comes in. Yael is a member of the resistance and a victim of Doctor Geyer's concentration camp medical experiments. In his efforts to turn Jewish Yael into a pure Aryan, Doctor Geyer has turned Yael into a shape-shifter. And her mission for the resistance is to impersonate Adele, enter the Axis Tour, win it, and then kill Hitler at the Victor's Ball. After dozens of assassination attempts, the Fuhrer is rarely seen and this is the resistance's only chance to rid the Nazis of their figurehead and ignite a rebellion.
There's another book on the way. And I'll certainly read it.
If alternate history is your thing, you should look at [[The Undrowned Child by Michelle Lovric]], [[Burn Mark by Laura Powell]] or [[Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld]]. We also have a review of [[Blood for Blood by Ryan Graudin]].
