Story One – Evil Under the Ice

In the aftermath of World War Two, the victorious Allied nations despatched numerous military expeditions into the Antarctic region.

Story Two – The New York Nuke

From solar cannons to time-travelling armies, there are few areas of science fiction which were not inspired in some way by Hitler’s Wonder Weapons programme.
