Review by: Frederick Rodgers on March 29, 2010 : (no rating)
If you enjoy alternate history you will love this exciting story of the 2nd World War as the Nazis successfully invade England. The story races across Wales as a lone Irishman flees with his son. Unknown to him, he is thought to be the key to a new secret weapon that can turn the tide of the war. The story is cleverly crafted making it difficult to put the book down. I highly recommend it, and impatiently await the sequel. B.Gerad O'Brien is one of Ireland's best new thriller writers.
