Samaritan*
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 Fatherland
*David Young, CWA Dagger-winning author of Stasi Child*
A 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
*William Ryan, author of The Constant Soldier*
In the great tradition of SS-GB and Fatherland, Rubin's
alternative-1950s murder mystery takes an ingenious premise - the
Americans and the Soviets have carved up Britain between them after
rescuing the country from the Nazis - and makes it come alive
through sheer storytelling skill
