Facing inevitable collapse against the Allied Nations, Soviet leadership orchestrates an audacious temporal gambit by sending operatives back to 1927 to assassinate Albert Einstein and eliminate the scientific breakthroughs that sealed their doom. When they return to the present, history has warped in unexpected ways: the Soviets now hold the advantage across Europe, yet the absence of Einstein means nuclear weapons never materialized. Their victory proves hollow, however, as a ruthless new faction—the Empire of the Rising Sun—emerges to challenge both superpowers and reshape the world order. The Soviet tampering with time unleashes a catastrophic three-way global conflict, forcing the Allies and Soviets into an uneasy struggle against an enemy neither anticipated.
