Review title: Empty
Product review: As with most books, this has a novelty concept, that of a man living in a Nazi superstate had the power been semi-victorious in World War II (and, he carefully notes, it was only a few bad decisions away from being thus). The historical research is beautiful, but the characters are alarmingly obvious and the mystery, muddled, goes so much nowhere. The obvious comparison is to Orwell's "1984," yet this is even more mundane; these characters make lip service to desiring freedom or democracy or whatever, but their actual motivation seems to be self-interest and the restless pursuit of a good life their neurotic minds will not allow them. Worthy for a historical read, boring as a mystery.
