“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Karpov put all Fedorov’s logic into one simple phrase.

“I don’t see any other way,” said Fedorov. “It’s clear that we can’t do what we originally intended here, but in 1908, our will has terrible and all changing power to work its way on the world and future time.”

The Saga Continues…
Kirov Series: Volume 30
Ironfall
Fedorov and Karpov arrange a meeting with Volsky and Gromyko to discuss their new plan to target the Prime Meridian of fate and time in 1908, but the Japanese fleet has other ideas, and the ships must soon fight for their survival against warriors from both the present and future time.
The war continues in 1943, with Guderian driving south towards Basra and Erwin Rommel unleashing a classic envelopment attack towards Damascus. As the German 11th and 17th Armies slowly grind down the last of Soviet resistance in the Taman Peninsula, tensions reach a breaking point when they meet Volkov’s forces dug in west of Maykop. The Führer has ordered his legions to take and occupy that place, and Ivan Volkov chooses to stand his ground. The war in the east now threatens to spiral out of control, with new fighting erupting on every frontier in the deeply fractured hinterland of Mother Russia.
Meanwhile, Elena Fairchild finally learns the fate of the men she sent into the hidden passage beneath St. Michael’s Cave, and also makes a surprising discovery that will give her the means to find and retrieve the key that was lost on the Battleship Rodney .
