It is year 142 of the German World Empire as reckoned from 1933 when Adolf Hitler became German Chancellor and the vilified Nazi regime was born. Dr. James Silverthorne, tenured history professor at Goebbels Institut in Greater Denver Gauleitung, Colorado Province, is also a seasoned time traveler vetted by Reichskounzel to conduct retrotemporal research in selective epochs of the past. James plays the key role in a desperate conspiracy designed to obliterate Deutschesweltanreich in retrospect via a clandestine return to wartime Berlin to locate and hopefully thwart the efforts of Nazi hero of heroes Erich Lustmann, a former SS officer sent back to 1939 decades after the war by Odessa SS exiles in Argentina. A postwar "secret weapon" unknown to the allies, the Lebe Technique developed by a Nazi theoretical physicist permits Lustmann's successful dispatch into the past. Armed with prescient knowledge of wartime events, he somehow influences and rectifies the action-decisions of the Nazi hierarchy, and thus enables the Third Reich to become the World War II victor, not the vanquished. Fearing his "mission impossible" is precisely that, Silverthorne nevertheless pursues his world-changing crusade in an exciting time travel adventure that is grand in scope as well as purpose.

Rarely have I encountered any sort of scifi story involving time travel and thought that it was not only believable, but so well put together that I couldn't stop reading it. "Memo to the Leader" certainly accomplished this feat, and I enthusiastically rate it at 5 stars.
The only thing I struggled with in this book (and nearly reduced my rating over) was the frequent German references as characters switched from speaking English for bits and pieces of conversation. Then I realized that the German was typically either a repetition of the English preceding it, or the meaning of it was made evident by the text immediately preceding. Once I came to this conclusion, I was able to read quickly through the story and actually picked up a few German phrases (in writing, at least) along the way.
To sum it all up, William Walling's work is extraordinarily well put together, I loved his plot and his characters, and you can be sure that I'll be reading more of his work in the near future, not to mention giving the recommendation to all my friends who enjoy a good scifi read. I anticipate hearing their excitement over the story as well.
Thanks for the great read
