Kirov
Chi ha giocato ad Harpoon non può non conoscere la Kirov, la caposerie dell'omonima classe di incrociatori da battaglia sovietici. Il termine incrociatore da battaglia all'inizio secolo si riferiva a navi con le stesso armamento della corazzate ma con meno protezione e più velocità (ad esempio la famosa Hood, affondata dalla Bismarck). Il termine venne usato per questa classe in quanto nonostante fossero incrociatori, avevano un armamento impressionante, anche nucleare, e quindi erano considerate della capital ship. In realtà non era ben chiaro che compito dovessero avere in un'ipotetica guerra. Hackett nel sua libro di fantasia sulla terza guerra mondiale ipotizza un loro ruolo come navi corsare, ma sembra un po' forzoso.
The battlecruiser Kirov, is the most powerful surface combatant that ever put to sea. Built from the bones of all four prior Kirov Class battlecruisers, she is updated with Russia’s most lethal weapons, given back her old name, and commissioned in the year 2020. A year later, with tensions rising to the breaking point between Russia and the West, Kirov is completing her final missile trials in the Arctic Sea when a strange accident transports her to another time. With power no ship in the world can match, much less comprehend, she must decide the fate of nations in the most titanic conflict the world has ever seen—WWII.
The novel is an intensely focused naval saga, where the crew of the lost Russian battlecruiser must struggle to understand what has happened to them, and then make a choice that could be decisive in the outcome of the war—who’s side are they on? A conflict between senior officers on the ship heightens the tension, and the course of all future history rides in the balance!
At this crucial time, Kirov finds herself just days and miles away from a secret summit at sea between Churchill and Roosevelt. On August 9, 1941, the two great leaders meet to plan cooperation in the war and lay down the Atlantic Charter, which decides the framework of post war power in the world and becomes the basis for the new United Nations and NATO.
With the hindsight of history as their guide, Kirov races south toward the secret meeting place at Argentia Bay in Newfoundland. Even as she cruises for the Denmark strait, both Roosevelt and Churchill prepare to embark for the sea journey as well. The Royal Navy soon discovers what they believe to be a fearsome new German raider in the Norwegian Sea, and they join with America’s Atlantic Fleet to bar the way and hunt down the most formidable surface action ship in the world.
Kirov is a compelling and deeply satisfying read by a master story teller. naval battles rage throughout the novel, and If you are a fan of naval fiction you will not be disappointed by this book. Written in a style that rivals some of the very best authors in the genre, C. S. Forester could not have done it any better!
Vedo che su Amazon ci sono parecchi romanzi nella serie, purtroppo ora non ho tempo per leggerli, ma magari più avanti ci farò un pensiero.
Tutto 'sto popo di introduzione per segnalare questa serie di romanzi (purtroppo solo in inglese) fantastorici. La serie si chiama appunto Kirov ed è sulla falsa riga del film anni '70 "The Final Countdown" dove la portaerei Nimitz torna indietro nel tempo giusto poco tempo prima dell'attacco a Pearl Harbor, con il potenziale per cambiare la storia. Ebbene in questa serie è la Kirov ha tornare indietro; ecco la intro su Amazon:
