Critics Review
Far more than an intellectual exercise - it is a gripping story, with heart
Gripping alternative history … Ingeniously plotted, with storytelling that’s full of heart * Daily Telegraph *This richly imagined thriller is set in an alternate past … Tightly plotted, tense and set in a chillingly plausible world * Sunday Mirror *A taut, psychological thriller with a plausible twist, Rubin’s debut novel does not disappoint … an extraordinary but believable tale of corruption, power play and black-market racketeering … Well researched and imaginative, Rubin’s alternative history novel creates an eerie landscape full of menace … Writing with panache and creative flair, Rubin breathes credibility into a disturbing ‘what if’ scenario. Chilling and intriguing in equal measures * The Lady *An interesting take on the ‘What if we’d lost World War II?’ debate. A gripping and well-imagined yarn * Sun *Rubin paints a shocking picture of what might have happened had we lost the Second World War and been invaded first by the Nazis and then the Soviet army. It’s an edgy ride, a reminder that we should not take our freedom for granted * Peterborough Evening Telegraph *Far more than an intellectual exercise - it is a gripping story, with heart * Daily Telegraph, Best Thrillers of the Year *A riveting story of betrayal, corruption and dark secrets, set against the backdrop of a divided Britain * Choice Magazine *A tight and compelling thriller * SFX *Rubin constructs a tantalising alternative world with 1950s Britain riven apart by its own version of the Berlin Wall - and all because the D-Day landings failed. Against this dystopian nightmare, the author overlays a murder mystery that’s sure to appeal to fans of SS-GB, The Man in the High Castle, and FatherlandA gripping murder mystery set in an alternative 1950s Britain. Rubin’s London, split between American and Soviet zones after a disastrous World War Two, is vividly realised and his story is elegantly constructed. One not to miss
