Worldwar is a series of four alternate history science fiction novels by Harry Turtledove. The basic premise is that aliens invade Earth right in the middle of World War II. Although the aliens, a basically reptilian species, have far superior technology, their last information on humans was collected by a robot probe 800 years before, and the "Lizards" find themselves facing much tougher opposition than the knights on horseback that they expected. The narrative follows the intersecting fortunes of a large number of human and alien characters. A follow-on trilogy, Colonization carries the story forward into a very different 1960s.
The volumes are:
- (1994)
- Worldwar: Tilting the Balance (1995)
- Worldwar: Upsetting the Balance (1996)
- Worldwar: Striking the Balance (1996)
