You open the next book, a hard back with a black and white image of a rather serious looking man on the front. The book is a combination biography and history text chronicling the life of Alexander Moench and his effects on science, specifically his work on military tech. Moench was captured by allies in may of 1945 and after several months in a POW camp was whisked back to America to work on project TITAN, the next in a line of military experiments taking place after the failure of the Manhattan project. His work brought about the maximization of military technologies and the creation of ever larger instruments of war to use against the constant Russo-Japanese threat which had immerged soon after V-E day. Considering the book continues on to the death of the scientists 34 years after his capture its clear that it's that the current date is at least 1980, if not later. The bombing has begun to lighten, but are still going on.

Nice simple alternate time line before shit starts to really fuck up. You guys are just out of "tutorial mode" so expect more dangerous shit to happen. You get a "Checkpoint" when ever you're in relative safety like this, but otherwise death is death.

I meant the whole "war carried on because America didn't manage to make a nuke and instead just made bigger cannons". The fact England is being bombed adds to this.
We need to know what the last three books are about so...

Pale White Shadow has the highest chance of being useful to us, I reckon, as international politics is probably not all that useful in our current situation, whilst we MAY find something of interest in the moon book.
I'm not able to decide. Everyone else who appears to have disappeared?
