A superb alt-timeline thriller that recalls Robert Harris's Fatherland * Financial Times * Simon Urban has created an imaginative alternate landscape that is so absurdly believable I had to remind myself, occasionally, that it wasn't the real world. And all was the backdrop to a conspiracy, wrapped in secrets, covered in deception. Compulsive reading, I devoured it -- Will Carver A gripping journey into an alternate past - Plan D is the epitome of what a great thriller should be -- William Ryan A genuine page turner. But it's also a book about the nature of dictatorships. It shows why dictatorship is possible, how dictatorship is done and what it does to people -- Juli Zeh Vividly imagined and described...a very good read -- Jessica Mann * Literary Review *
