Germany has defeated the Allies, won WWII in Europe and cleansed the territory of undesirables. Yet the war in the Far East still wages on. Welcome to the future of Germania. 16-year-old Stella Engel has lived her entire life in a sheltered, but comfortable middle class existence within the Reich where she has made lifelong friends and fostered her love of science. For most of her childhood, she has hoped to grow up to serve the Reich as a doctor. Her high achievements have earned her a place at the annual Eugenics Competition, where only the best and brightest students in science are invited to compete, securing their future in a high ranking medical school. However, her trip is marred when her best friend Pia, and Pia's entire family, suddenly go missing. After searching for her friend to no avail, something even stranger happens: the Eugenics Competition is interrupted by the mass arrest of all of the contestants. They are now under suspicion of carrying "dirty" genes, or the genes of those the Reich has convinced the public have long been eradicated. Stella's mother helps her manage to flee from the SS temporarily, where Stella learns that nothing in the Reich is as it seems; and that includes Stella herself.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A solid effort, just not for all ages By Michael Doherty The story is teen fiction, Hunger Games meets Nazi Germany, thus it may not appeal to older (over 25) fans of alternate history fiction. Stella is a German teen living about 50 yrs in the future, in a Reich that's been at war for a hundred years. It's written in first person, always a danger in teen fiction as the central character usually ends up being way too insightful about life and the human condition. So why 4 stars? Because it is well written, well edited (thank you for that, too few authors on here bother with details like correct punctuation and grammar), and gives a younger audience a way to learn about a very important period in world history. My only concern here is that this is a book one, and the author's other 'book one' novel, written a year ago, does not yet have a book two. Sorry, two concerns; The author needs to research a little more, some historical inaccuracies here.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. good narrative, weakened by poor historical accuracy and slim worldbuilding By pjf This YA novel reads like a cross between The Man in the High Castle and any number of YA dystopian novels. The 16 year old female narrator lives in a Germany that never stopped fighting in WWII. She's preparing to compete in a genetics competition, hoping in future to work at a prestigious research institution. Her narrative voice is compelling and readable. It drew me irresistibly into the story for at least half the book.What kept drawing me out of the story was the thinness of the world - building. While there are some trappings of Nazi-ism dropped into the story as window dressing, the author did not do her homework well enough to provide me with a convincing sense that this is Nazi Germany. Because there is so much material on this, it's a bit unforgiving not to have done the homework before writing the story. Another issue was proof-reading - while the text isn't riddled, there are enough misplaced words to be notable.The first half of the book was very good and the story compelling and believable to a point. The second half was far less believable and kept growing less plausible. I wish the author had spent a little more time on her draft, because I think the story idea, though a bit derivative, still has promise and could have delivered a richer, more compelling even excellent experience to the reader with some more work. Still, it's readable and interesting as far as it goes.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The ending to this book has me craving more--I just have to know what comes next. By MikiHope This book is based on the premise that Germany won WWII and thank the heavens that it is fictional and they didn't win if this author's imagination is anywhere close to what would have been. Stella, who considers herself the perfect Aryan, has a lot to learn about her country and herself--even her own family. I am really afraid to say too much and give it all away. Let's just say that my mind keeps gravitating towards scenes in this book when it is not actively thinking about anything else. The ending has me craving more--I just have to know what comes next.
