"Live in Infamy" is a young adult dystopian novel set in an alternate 2018, eighty years after the Axis powers won World War II using genetically engineered super soldiers. The story follows a resistance movement in America, now under the unforgiving rule of the victors, as they fight to reclaim the ideals of freedom.

This book is suitable for ages 12-18 and is a companion to "The Only Thing to Fear."
In the eighty years since the Axis powers won World War II with their genetically engineered super soldiers, America has changed drastically in the hands of the unforgiving victors. But there are still those who aspire to what the country used to stand for: freedom for all.
