DEDICATION
This novel is dedicated to all the brave women who served or lived through World War Two and who were too often ignored, discounted or ridiculed by men while risking their lives for their countries or their families. Those women include, but are not limited to: the British and German female auxiliaries who served behind the front lines; the women of the various European Resistance cells who too often endured a fate worse than death at the hands of the German secret police; the military nurses who cared for wounded soldiers, and the patriotic female Soviet soldiers, combat pilots and partisans who helped turn the Nazi tide around.
ABOUT THIS NOVEL
This science-fiction novel was the first installment in a series of novels depicting the adventures through time of Nancy Laplante, a female Canadian war correspondent and reserve army officer from the year 2012. This new, revised edition was made in 2025 and incorporates a few new story details and some significant modifications to the original text.
