What if Hitler had died in a car crash in 1939?
No Second World War. No superpower duopoly. No end of Empire.
It is 1959, and:
- America has become a fascist madhouse.
- Germany limps on under a corrupt, ageing Göring.
- Soviet Russia is still Soviet Russia.
- And Britain? Free, rich, confident - almost as mighty as in Victoria's day.
Anthony Markham - half-Indian, secretly gay, ferociously patriotic - has been commissioned to write the life of Winston Churchill, a man long dead and all but forgotten. He comes home from America carrying papers that may, or may not, hold the one secret capable of destroying everything England has rebuilt.
Now someone wants him dead. Who is Major Stanhope, really? What terrible truth links Harold Macmillan and Michael Foot? And what is hidden inside the Churchill Memorandum?
To find out, Markham must run for his life through an England unbombed, uncentralised, still free - and still full of secrets.
First published in 2011, this novel got its author purged from the Conservative Party and blacklisted by mainstream publishers. Was it worth the fuss? Read it and decide.
A thriller in the tradition of John Buchan, Sapper and early Ian Fleming.
From the reviews:
- Guaranteed to blow your mind. - Sea Lion Press
- Further down the rabbit-hole than Alice. - Bella Gerens
- One of the more sophisticated, cynical and well-written takes on the alternative-history theme that I've read. - Jerome Tuccille
- There really are no good guys. The world order enforced by London ... is built on betrayal and murder. - Kevin Carson
