V2 by Robert Harris
4.0
V2 is a smart blend of fact and fiction written by probably the most engaging writer in this genre.
It’s the tail end of WWII and the Germans have taken to increasingly blistering V2 rocket attacks on London. The story revolves around Rudi Graf, the German engineer spearheading the rocket campaign (but dreaming of sending rockets into space not as a means of destruction), and Kay Caron-Walsh a member of the WAAF who gets caught up with the V2s in more ways than one.
I spotted the negative reviews for V2, mainly by those picking holes in the facts. However, I read it as a work of fiction and thoroughly enjoyed it throughout. I did the Audible version and the narration was excellent. I am a Robert Harris fan and thought this was a masterful work of fact based fiction.
