"Spies and informers lurk. Period details are piquant. . .
. Above all there’s suspense. As Graf and Kay plot and
counterplot, questions rise and fall like rockets. . .
. V2 will keep you pinned on a compelling
trajectory."
—The Sunday Times
"Weav[es] a personal thriller on to a major historical tapestry. .
. . The joy is in the history as much as the story."
—The Financial Times
"Engrossing. . . . Harris brings the past to life through
vivid characterizations and clever plotting. Fans of superior
historical fiction will be rewarded."
—Publishers Weekly
"A veteran historical novelist homes in on one of Hitler’s
last desperate hopes. . . . [An] enjoyable thriller with
plenty of well-researched historical nuggets."
—Kirkus Reviews
"[An] historical-fiction master. . . . Crosscutting between
those launching the rockets and those on the receiving end proves
to be a superb narrative device. . . . [This] novel combines
fascinating technical detail with a wartime drama that finds human
ambiguity on both sides of the battlefield."
—Booklist
