"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."
