Synopsis

Guy Saville's "The Afrika Reich" plunges readers into a terrifying alternate 1952, where Britain's defeat at Dunkirk led to an uneasy peace with a triumphant Nazi Germany. In this chilling reality, the swastika flies across Africa, from the Sahara to the Indian Ocean, with gleaming autobahns crisscrossing the jungle and jet fighters dominating the skies. The brutal omnipresence of the SS underscores a decade of German dominion. The architect of this terrifying African empire, Walter Hochburg, now threatens Britain's remaining, ailing colonies with his demonic schemes. Ex-mercenary Burton Cole, a man haunted by past encounters with Hochburg, is offered a final, dangerous contract. Driven by a desire for vengeance, Burton accepts the mission despite the pleas of the woman he loves. His task is to thwart Hochburg, but when his mission spectacularly fails, Burton is forced to flee for his life. His desperate journey takes him through the nightmarish killing grounds of the Kongo, into horrific SS slave camps, and across war-torn Angola, culminating in a thrilling conspiracy that delves into the dark heart of the Afrika Reich itself. This meticulously researched thriller promises unimaginable horrors if Cole fails, impacting both black and white inhabitants of the continent.
