Philip K. Dick's cult novel - now in an official tie-in edition to accompany the new TV series Imagine the world if the Allies had lost the Second World War... Philip K Dick trips the switches of our minds with his vision of the world as it might have been- the African continent virtually wiped out, the Mediterranean drained to make farmland, the United States divided between the Japanese and the Nazis... In the neutral zone that divides the rival superpowers in America lives the author of an underground best-seller. His book - a rallying cry for all those who dream of overthrowing the occupiers - offers an alternative theory of world history. Does 'reality' lie with him, or is his world just one among many others?

  • Promised much - sad on the delivery

    It is very rare that I give up on a book part way through so I kept going with this one but I rather wish I hadn't bothered. The basic concept is good and it could have been compelling but sadly it became a drudge of a read. Normally all the various characters and sub plots come together at the end and a good writer will have the reader enthralled at how cleverly all those plots combine. Sadly, this one had too many sub plots which, on completion, seemed totally irrelevant with too many twists and characters not seeming to add much to the overall story. Maybe I missed something. The conclusion, if you can call it that, was a surprise but not in a good way - the proverbial damp squib and I really was left wondering "what on earth was that all about."

  • Interesting and easy to read, although with a weird ending

    Interesting book, with a good plot and interesting moments for all the characters. The ending is confusing somehow.
