C.J. Sansom
1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany. The global economy strains against the weight of the long German war against Russia still raging in the east. The British people find themselves under increasingly authoritarian rule - the press, radio, and television tightly controlled, the British Jews facing ever greater constraints.
But Churchill's Resistance soldiers on. As defiance grows, whispers circulate of a secret that could forever alter the balance of the global struggle. The keeper of that secret? Scientist Frank Muncaster, who languishes in a Birmingham mental hospital.
Civil Servant David Fitzgerald, a spy for the Resistance and University friend of Frank's, is given the mission to rescue Frank and get him out of the country. Hard on his heels is Gestapo agent Gunther Hoth, a brilliant, implacable hunter of men, who soon has Frank and David's innocent wife, Sarah, directly in his sights.
C.J. Sansom's literary thriller Winter in Madrid earned Sansom comparisons to Graham Greene, Sebastian Faulks, and Ernest Hemingway. Now, in his first alternative history epic, Sansom doesn't just recreate the past - he reinvents it. In a spellbinding tale of suspense, oppression and poignant love, Dominion dares to explore how, in moments of crisis, history can turn on the decisions of a few brave men and women - the secrets they choose to keep and the bonds they share.

As a Brit I was blown away by how close to perfect the regional accents were;
he even nailed the voices of the historical figures, such as Enoch Powell.
Very well done.

I got the sense that the ideas behind the book were much greater than the scope of its plot, particularly where empire and “Dominion” are involved.
Sansom is one of those rare male authors you really can trust to write women as actual human beings, and that’s obvious here. All his characters feel like real, poignantly flawed people, which makes the evil they face—or do—all the more palpable.
The Jews hover like ghosts in the story, their fate and future never explored in the depth they deserve. Perhaps that’s inevitable, because despite one protagonist’s secret identity, there is no Jewish voice. He knows nothing about his mother’s people, their civilization, or their story. I keenly felt the absence, particularly these days.
Matthew Shardlake would never have let things get this bad.
