Overview: James Philip was born in London. He and his wife live in Hampshire in the heart of the south of England. Having despaired of ever getting his fiction published by main stream publishers he has embraced the e-publishing revolution with something akin to glee. Surprised by the positive reception to the e-publication of Until the Night and several of his other books, he has now become a full time writer for the first time in his life and is currently working on a large number of new projects including additional instalments to existing series.
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy | Alternative History
All Along The Watchtower (#9)
A little over twenty months have passed since the cataclysm of October 1962.
It is a minute before midnight in Philadelphia on 4th July 1964 in a World stumbling inexorably towards a second, even more catastrophic nuclear war.
The United States, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom have stepped to the edge of the thermonuclear abyss; who will blink first?
Crow On The Cradle (#10)
It is January 1965 in a World in which the Cuban Missiles Crisis went horribly wrong and the ‘swinging sixties’ never happened.
In the United States a new President has entered the White House; in Britain the country will shortly be going to the polls for the first time since the October War. But with the return of ‘normal’ politics there is no return to the ‘normality’ of the old, now lost World order. That still lies in ashes, the terribly damaged Soviet Union has withdrawn back into its Cold War cave, the ‘conflict’ in Korea is red hot, the global economy is broken, everybody has lost so much and now the brutal realities of ‘politics as normal’ in American and the United Kingdom are about to come home to roost.
The shooting may have stopped in the American Midwest, and an uneasy peace may have descended in the Mediterranean and the Middle East but little has been settled. In England it seems as if the electorate will take its revenge on ‘The Angry Widow’ who led the country through the battles of 1964. In Philadelphia the new Administration finds itself embroiled in scandal within weeks, and the great peace conference in Manhattan stalls…
Across the wintery English Channel the survivors from the devastated lands of the East flood into France and suddenly the chaos stretches from the Atlantic to the Urals, with the British Isles and fascist Spain the last remaining remnants of what was once Western European civilization…
Peace of a sort has come to much of the World; but is it the tranquility of ruins or the bringer of fresh storms?
There has been no washing of the spears since the catastrophe of October 1962; who can say that the crow on the cradle has not had the last laugh…
1966 & All That (#11)
Over forty months have passed since the Cuban Missiles Crisis went horribly wrong in a world in which the ‘swinging sixties’ never happened.
In America the Administration is mired in domestic scandals and an unwinnable proxy war with both China and Russia in Korea; in England the first post-war elected Government finds itself inexorably drawn into unwanted ‘foreign imbroglios’ when it desperately wants to focus on matters at home.
1965 ought to be the year reconstruction begins in earnest, the year when finally peace ought to be breaking out but it as if everything is on hold. The worst is over…or is it?
Russia and China are closed books to what remains of the West and the old bulwark between the Communist and Capitalist worlds – Europe – lies mostly in ruins leaving Britain and its Commonwealth allies holding the ring everywhere except in the Far East.
And just below the surface dangerous tensions lurk wherever one looks. The canker of the Kingdom of Wisconsin is a haven for religious zealotry in the heart of the Midwest. In the South Atlantic there is an uneasy undeclared ceasefire. Refugees from the chaos in France pour across the English Channel. The Mediterranean is a cauldron of past and present religious and ethnic rivalries, and the Middle East a patchwork of unlikely war-driven alliances. India and Pakistan are at war in Kashmir. And all the while the United States and Britain tiptoe around each other, unreconciled, mistrustful each fearful that they might be only one or two missteps away from another disastrous misunderstanding.
British and American leaders brood on past betrayals; separated by their shared language. So much is lost in translation; and so much blood has been spilled…
Everybody wants to believe that 1965 will be the year the foundations of the new era will be laid but tacitly, they know that they will have to wait and hope for 1966 & all that…
In the meantime what new disasters will afflict the survivors?
