The Allies are winning the war, when it all suddenly starts to go bad. The nazis and their mystic crazies have come up with something.

'They... made... the Aesir. That's what Loki meant by thinking that, maybe, his own memories were false. When he suspected he was actually no older than...'

Not that Loki, working with the Allies, can be completely trusted, as the surviving commander finds out about the necromancy.

'Who would we conjure? Chris wondered. If we ever used those spells? Superman? Captain Marvel? Oh, they'd be more than a match for the Aesir! Our myths were boundless.'

At the end of the failed mission, Chris realises Loki has left him with a little superhuman gift, hence Captain America.

Collection of short science fantasy stories by David Brin. My favorite story (not surprisingly one of the more "pure" SF stories) was "Tank Farm Dynamo." ( )

This book is a collection of David Brin's short stories. Most of the stories demonstrates Brin's ability to blend science fiction and fantasy tastefully and almost seamlessly. Each story is followed by an "author's note"; which only increases my respect for Brin's integrity. ( )

Nice collection of thought provoking stories. ( )

Some stories better than others. My favorite was "Thor meets Captain America", where the Nazis were close to winning WWII because they had managed to summon the Norse gods to fight on their side. ( )
