Remarkable that no one has filmed it, considering that it's almost certainly his best novel and many others have become movies. And the most frightening of all is that now there is a “Cold War” between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Where the Nazis have now Nuclear Technology and Hidrogen Bombs at their disposal.
