About this listen
Fatherland is set in an alternative world where Hitler has won the Second World War. It is April 1964 and one week before Hitler's 75th birthday. Xavier March, a detective of the Kriminalpolizei, is called out to investigate the discovery of a dead body in a lake near Berlin's most prestigious suburb.
As March discovers the identity of the body, he uncovers signs of a conspiracy that could go to the very top of the German Reich. And, with the Gestapo just one step behind, March, together with an American journalist, is caught up in a race to discover and reveal the truth - a truth that has already killed, a truth that could topple governments, a truth that will change history

Creative, real and raw
An amazing story and perhaps a sad reflection on a society where the unjust thrive but a glimmer of hope for a better life thrives. Not sure if I liked the ending, but a great read..

A really good "what if"
Really enjoyed the glimpse into a possible Nazi controlled Europe. I particularly enjoyed the narration.

Great yarn
I first read Fatherland 25 years ago but had forgotten most of the story. Well worth listening to again though. The story is imaginative (and horrifying), the plotting is excellent and the pace picks up slowly but surely as the story progresses aided by Michael Jayston's brilliant narration. I changed the pace of the audio to 1.25 times normal speed towards the end and it really adds to the growing tension and menace of the final chapters.

captivating
Gripping story. Horrifying and necessary.
The narrator's voice and tone give the story the depth and darkness it deserves.

What if the Nazi's got away with the holocaust?
A great idea for a novel. This book gives a bit of an insight into what a Nazi win would possibly have been like. It starts with a mysterious death, but soon gets mysterious and dangerous for March.
I was pleasantly surprised to explore the insight into the plot with a Germany that has hidden the holocuast from the world.
There were a few small strings that the author dangled but didn't expand on further, especially the outcome for the UK. I got my interest piqued, but he didn't expand on this which bothered me.
I would have really liked an epilogue.
