Allen Steele - V-S Day (epub)[j_ray]

Three-time Hugo Award-winning author Allen Steele imagines an alternate history
rooted in an actual historical possibility: What if the race to space had occurred
in the early days of World War II?

It's 1941, and Wernher von Braun is ordered by his fuhrer to abandon the V-2 rocket
and turn German resources in a daring new direction: construction of a manned
orbital spacecraft capable of attacking the United States. When the top secret plan
is leaked to Franklin Roosevelt, the president has only one logical response: The
United States must build their own spacecraft to destroy it. Robert Goddard, inventor
of the liquid-fuel rocket, agrees to head the classified project.

So begins a race against time between two secret military programs and two brilliant
scientists whose high-stakes competition will spiral into a deadly game of
political intrigue and unforeseen catastrophes played to the death in the
brutal skies above America.
