James Herbert's novel of genocide and germ warfare tackles the unpleasant subject of what if the Axis had won World War II However, rather than dwelling on the moral and philosophical aspects of life under such a reign, Herbert throws us right into the story, surrounding us with people of action who cannot take time to mull over the ramifications of this loss but who instead must fight and act his thriller is a refreshing take on this theme, here presented with a whopping four bonus short stories by Herbert.
