In the dimension next door, Earth has been occupied by the Amphibite Empire since the Teddy Roosevelt Administration.

Winston Carmichael, a Sergeant First Class in The Human Soldiers of Earth, is getting out and going to University. He wants to join the Higher Caste and make life better for humanity, but his hatred of the Empire might be too much for him to sit quietly and play ball. Now he has to decide if he's going to work for the Empire he hates, or join the rebels and become a Rough Rider.
