The year is 1968. Leon Trotsky, the revered leader of the U.S.S.R., has just died in Moscow. In Rome, Mussolini presides over his slowly dying Empire. In the United States, ex-U.S. Senator for Illinois Adolf Hitler is plotting a political comeback with the help of his old ally, German emigre Joseph Gable, alias Joseph Goebbels. Communist Germany implacably faces the colonial empires of the West, with Britain and France bogged down in guerrilla wars all over Africa and Asia. In London, three film students arrive to be rushed helter-skelter into the middle of student revolution. And in Ethiopia, Ernesto "Che" Guevara bargains with rebellious Italian Army officers to topple the Fascist regime in Rome... A politically-charged thriller, The Resurrections is a variation on a classic science fiction theme: a speculative fantasy of an alternate history, a different twist of the 20th century down a parallel track of time.
