"Colonization: Second Contact" By Harry Turtledove

Yes friends, I have read:
   
"World War: In the Balance"
    "World War: Tilting the Balance"
    "World War: Upsetting the Balance"
    "World War: Striking the Balance"

Now comes:
    "Colonization: Second Contact"
    "Colonization: Down to Earth" (Upcoming)


The first four books recount how Earth is invaded in the middle of World War II, and the warring factions have to band together to keep Earth from being dominated by the invaders. It is now 20 years later and only North America, The Greater Reich, and the USSR remain unoccupied by the aliens. These last three powers of Earth do not trust each other. Man is now advancing rapidly technologically and has also conquered space.

The alien colonization fleet now arrives and a whole new wave of problems for the aliens arrive with them. Join the fun because nobody does alternative history like Harry Turtledove. I highly recommend the first four books in the series.
