Have read 23 of Wilson's novels, this is the best by far. Am anxious to finish the ADVASARY series. Never heard of Repairman Jack until the start of 2018. How this novel received any thing less than five stars is beyond my grasp. The research some is flawless! However, when will Mr. Wilson learn the difference between THEN & THAN? Easy way to remember, only use them when dealing with time. Both words are four letters and both have an e in them! I4.5 stars. I liked this book more and more as I read further and became more and more invested in the characters. REALLY looking forward to getting more insights into the "secret history of the world".
A stunning novel. Probably Wilson's best written book. He weaves an amazing story of four interconnected characters over the course of 20 some odd years set over WWII. Twisting a bit of the super natural and a strong love story in and out of major historical events ending with the bomb drop at Hiroshima. Really if you have any interest in historical fiction and original takes on the genre seek this one out.
I'll not try to find another shelf for this one. I've put it on my "read" shelf and my "horror shelf". I suppose it could also be called historical fantasy. It's mildly tied in with Wilson's Adversary series and Repairman Jack series. It will, "touch" I guess you'd say.Frankly I find that while I like the repairman Jack books greatly (in general) Mr. Wilson's other books tend to leave me a bit cold. The same here.A detailed discussion of why I don't care for this book a lot would require a

I really enjoyed how everything came together in the end of this book. I think this is the first book I've really read that specifically involved events of world war 2, but it was still felt different, new, and exciting for the story to not involve the Germans. I'm tempted to rate it a 4, but I feel like it took me way too long to read.
I was not sure how to rate this book when I first completed it. I originally gave it four stars but have since increased my rating. About half-way through the book I definitely thought it deserved a 5 star rating. It was the rather disturbing way that the shoten were created that turned me off. I could not believe anyone would have been willing to do that. Yet, I realise there are some tremendously misguided people in the world, and during a war - I guess it would be even worse.This book is an
