The Afrika Reich

Autor Guy Saville
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 ian 2015

From Guy Saville, the explosive new thriller of a world that so nearly existed

Africa, 1952. More than a decade has passed since Britain's humiliation at Dunkirk brought an end to the war and the beginning of an uneasy peace with Hitler.

The swastika flies from the Sahara to the Indian Ocean. Britain and a victorious Nazi Germany have divided the continent. The SS has crushed the native populations and forced them into labor. Gleaming autobahns bisect the jungle, jet fighters patrol the skies. For almost a decade an uneasy peace has ensued.

Now, however, the plans of Walter Hochburg, messianic racist and architect of Nazi Africa, threaten Britain's ailing colonies.

Sent to curb his ambitions is Burton Cole: a one-time assassin torn between the woman he loves and settling an old score with Hochburg. If he fails unimaginable horrors will be unleashed on the continent. No one black or white will be spared.
But when his mission turns to disaster, Burton must flee for his life.
It is a flight that will take him from the unholy ground of Kongo to SS slave camps to war-torn Angola and finally a conspiracy that leads to the dark heart of The Afrika Reich itself."

Recenzii

Saville gives us an horrific reimagining of the Dark Continent
[the] plot is clever, imaginative and, in its finale, wholly unexpected. In a crowded field, THE AFRIKA REICH stands out as a rich and unusual thriller, politically sophisticated and hard to forget.
Fatherland for an action movie age
THE AFRIKA REICH is a gripping novel and a remarkable exercise in alternate history.
Set in a world in which Britain made peace with Hitler after 1940, this account of a mercenary mission to Africa makes for an engrossing and convincing debut.
If readers like terrifying stories behind a dense layer of historical depiction this is an unexpected and unforgettable story that they must read.
Promises to intrigue readers with an imaginative tale of what might have been . . . crafted as a fast-paced political thriller . . . offers readers an abundance of espionage, double-dealing, intrigue and scenes of Nazi sadism, all of which culminate in a not-to-be-divulged ending. Saville's tale is noteworthy not merely for transferring the nightmare of a victorious Nazi Reich to an exotic location, but for shifting our attention to new features of Nazi criminality.
a tough adventure yarn, a sort of Wilbur Smith on speed.
This graphic, pacy alternate history thriller is scarily convincing.
Saville's alternate world is so carefully crafted that it is all too believable.
An enthralling look at the horror that might have been if Germany was not defeated
With THE AFRIKA REICH, Guy Saville has delivered a highly entertaining read in the vein of Robert Harris' Fatherland and Archangel. Selling us us on a plausible and engrossing alternative history, featuring rich characters (who he's not afraid to kill off) and a fastpaced plot.
Gripping
Guy Saville's scorching debut novel [is] a terrifying account of the way things might have been . . . Immaculately researched and with accompanying notes to put the story into its context, THE AFRIKA REICH is an exciting first novel which blends history and fiction into an unforgettable drama.
Saville's alternative world is so carefully crafted, so meticulously researched and so convincing that it is easy to believe it all might have been possible.
[an] intoxicating debut . . . a glorious, exhaustingly energetic romp through an Africa which wasn't, but which might have been . . . Written with style, verve and startling lyricism, THE AFRIKA REICH makes serious points as it entertains.
[A] dark and gruesome narrative dynamic.
