What a cowinkidink, I just reread this novel a couple of weeks ago. SPOILER ALERT: the Axis lost the war, no really, that's the surprise ending. Despite all appearances to the contrary….

Read the book a long, long time ago – wondered how long it would take to get to the screen given how many other Philip K Dick novels have been made into movies

"The small screen adaptation of Philip. K. Dick's novel which explores an alternative reality in which Nazi Germany and Japan won World War II and occupy the United States, with the East Coast controlled by the Nazis and the West Coast owned by Japan, and a chunk of the Midwest still up for grabs. Davalos will play Juliana, who lives in Japanese occupied San Francisco. She is fascinated by Japanese culture and has mastered the art of aikido, but her personal state of truce with the Empire Of Japan stops forever when her half sister Trudy is shot dead in front of her eyes by a Japanese soldier. Entrusted by Trudy with a black satchel containing a vital pro- Resistance propaganda film, Juliana heads east for Colorado, the secret headquarters of the Resistance, and the road ahead of her is very blurry and very dangerous"

Didn't like the book, maybe the film will be an improvement?
