More About This Title A Thousand Suns

English

It's early April 1945, deep in the bloodied days of World War II. The Nazi regime is being slowly throttled by the oncoming Russian and Allied armies and Hitler rages uselessly in his Berlin bunker. But the high command have one more throw of the dice to make. An audacious plan is hatched to save the Fatherland and beat off the oncoming apocalypse. All it will take is a hodge-podge squadron of escort fighters, a captured U.S. bomber, and one brave but suicidal pilot to fly it over the Atlantic into the beating heart of America. Half a century later, a rusting plane is discovered, sunk with its crew, off the coast of New York—a relic from a bygone age. Chris Roland, a brilliant young photographer, is sent to take photos of this time capsule. But it is only when he discovers that the fragments of Nazi uniforms on the decaying corpses that he realizes that he has come across a secret so terrible that even 50 years later it could still kill him.

"An intense what-if that ties a present-day freelance photographer to an ill-fated WWII German assault on Manhattan . . . Scarrow has a real talent for pacing, and he keeps the tension escalating."  —Publishers Weekly"An exuberant and epic tale."  —Good Book Guide"An epic tale that moves between the present and the last days of the Third Reich."  —Eastern Daily Press"This is a fascinating timeslip mystery . . . Scarrow manages the division well, keeping up the suspense on both sides of the story."  —Guardian"Alex Scarrow's depiction of Britain as only a few hours away from disintegration is chillingly plausible. This is the perfect book to give to somebody who opposes your plans to build a wind farm."  —Daily Telegraph
