4.6/5

This had potential. It is not exactly terrible, but I get the feeling this could have been MUCH better.Taking place in 2016, the world is destroyed. The leaders who caused this mess decide to use a machine known as the Splitter. This creates an alternate universe where they can go back and manipulate history. The premise is good, the execution-not so much.The "heroes" go back in time to hunt down the leaders. Turns out they choose to go back to 1945, right before the US drops the bomb on Hiroshima. Hoping to change world events (by destroying the Soviets) they are stopped by an intrepid female Brit and an American. As far as why they would stop the nuking of the Soviet Union and Stalin? Beats the hell out of me- but then again liberals (the writers, not the intrepid Brit and the American) do love Communists and what a shame it would have been if the World had been deprived of Joe Stalin. *sigh*Anyways-great concept. Not so great execution. The artwork is decent throughout. This is one of those books, if asked my opinion, I would most like shrug and make a noise like "meh". You will too if you read it.
