About this product

Product Information

'All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth . . . ? America, after the Second World War. The Allies have lost, and their enemies have conquered the world. Those who survive live in fear. The Nazis have taken over New York, while the Japanese control California. Yet in a neutral buffer zone between these two rival superpowers lives the author of an underground bestseller that, it is rumoured, offers an alternate version of 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.
