Harry Turtledove, the multiple-award-winning author of such imaginative alternate histories as Ruled Britannia and Guns of the South, asks a startling question: What if Germany won World War II, and the Nazi regime's rule over most of Europe and North America continued into the twenty-first century?

Heinrich Gimpel is a respected bureaucrat in Berlin. His wife is a common Hausfrau, raising his three precious daughters the same way he was raised – to be loyal, unquestioning citizens of the Third Reich, obedient to the will of the Fuhrer.

But Heinrich Gimpel has a secret. He is not, in fact, a member of the Master Race. He has been living a lie to protect his true identity as a Jew – and he's not alone. Throughout Berlin, Jews survive in secrecy, maintaining the facade of perfect Aryans, and praying they will not be discovered.

But a change is coming. And soon they will be forced to choose between safety and freedom...
