About this listen

"Everyone remembers exactly what they were doing the day President Kennedy tried to kill them."

In 1962 the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of the nuclear war. The crisis was averted, but what would have happened if war had broken out? In Resurrection Day, award-winning author Brendan DuBois brings this horrific concept to life.

Critic reviews

" Resurrection Day is the best 'what if' novel in years - more clever and resonant than Robert Harris's Fatherland - and all the more scary because disaster was minutes away from happening for real. A book you'll read three times and keep on your shelves forever." (Lee Child)

"In his first novel outside of his acclaimed Lewis Cole mystery series DuBois delivers an alternate-history thriller that deserves to be as popular as Robert Harris' 'Fatherland. DuBois postulates an America that has been politically devastated by a nuclear exchange arising from the Cuban missile crisis.... Cohesively plotted and smoothly written, steadily exciting and rife with clever conceits, this is what-if thriller fiction at its finest." ( Publishers Weekly)

I read this book many years ago and have picked it up to read several times since. It is an excellent story with an alternative history following the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The audio narration is ok but, as a British person, I’m never going to be able to hear words like Manhattan or Paras again without thinking out absolutely ludicrous pronunciation the narrator used. He has clearly never heard an English accent and the producers should have stopped him. It almost ruined the experience of listening to the book. Almost.
