About The Book

This unputdownable alternative history thriller explores what would have happened if the Nazis had won World War II—perfect for fans of The Man in the High Castle and Fatherland.

Bad papers.

That’s how Peter’s nightmare began. Living in contemporary Europe under Nazi domination— more than fifty years after the truce among the North American Union, the Third Reich, and the Soviet Union— Peter has struggled to make sense of the reign of terror that governs his world.

Now, arrested for bearing a false identity, he is pulled full force into a battle against Nazi oppression. The crusade for freedom that belonged to generations past is now Peter's legacy and his future depends not on running away, but on fighting back.

After escaping a Nazi prison camp and joining the Underground Home Army, Peter dedicates himself to breaking down the system that betrayed him. But by facing the evil at the heart of the Nazi political machine, Peter falls deeper into a web of political intrigue and adventure that risks everything he holds dear—in this life and for the sake of future generations.

A disturbingly real vision of what could have been, The Children’s War is a page-turning dystopian historical thriller with a mesmerizing premise and an unforgettable cast of characters. J.N. Stroyar’s searingly authentic, impassioned vision of human triumph over the forces of corruption and cruelty stands as a powerful tribute to the millions who have sacrificed and died in the name of freedom.

Raves and Reviews

“THE CHILDREN'S WAR takes you into the nightmare of a victorious Third Reich. J.N. Stroyar has written a chilling and disturbing ‘what if’ novel reminiscent of but more frightening than Len Deighton’s SS-GB. Great historical detail, fascinating premise, and nonstop suspense.”

Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“One of the best novels about World War II that I’ve ever read. Harrowing, minutely detailed, and brilliantly conceived…unforgettable.”

Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Toweringly intelligent, with icy touches showing how all sides dehumanize to achieve their aims…a fierce picture of massive dystopian evil.”
