Özet
 WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE ALLIES HAD LOST THE WAR?
America, fifteen years after the end of the Second World War. The winning Axis powers have divided their spoils: the Nazis control New York, while California is ruled by the Japanese.
But between these two states - locked in a cold war - lies a neutral buffer zone in which legendary author Hawthorne Abendsen is rumoured to live. Abendsen lives in fear of his life for he has written a book in which World War Two was won by the Allies . . .
Now a major Amazon TV series, this book for fans of Robert Harris' Fatherland, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and anyone who has ever wondered 'What if . . . '

I can't necessarily say I liked it, but it was a weird and yet somehow believable world. Everything changed, but nothing changed. Huh.

Weird and interesting

Interesting story for couple of evenings. Didn’t loose much credibility over time like some si-fi books do when technology goes forward. I watched the show first so in comparison book felt a bit too short. I missed the characters, which had more depth as 3 seasons allowed it to develop. The narrator does a good job and I listened for hours without breaks.

Much different than the show that I thought

Eduardo Ballerini delivers a subtly powerful reading of Philip K. Dick’s iconic alternate‑history novel. His warm, slightly husky timbre feels intimate, while his careful vocal tweaks give each of the main characters a recognizable texture—Juliana’s steady curiosity, Frank’s nervous hesitation, Tagomi’s measured contemplation, and Childan’s dry sarcasm. This distinction keeps the story’s frequent perspective shifts clear without resorting to exaggerated accents.

The pacing is deliberately measured, echoing the novel’s slow‑burn tension. Ballerini allows pauses at key philosophical moments, especially when the forbidden book The Grasshopper Lies Heavy appears, giving listeners room to absorb the weight of the ideas. The result is an atmosphere of quiet dread punctuated by fleeting glimmers of hope.

Production quality is top‑notch: crisp audio, consistent volume, and clearly labeled chapters make navigation effortless. A brief introductory note and a short author interview add useful context for newcomers.

Strengths

Distinct, natural character voices.
Thoughtful pacing that enhances immersion.
Clean, professional sound engineering.

Weaknesses

May feel too restrained for fans of highly dramatized narrations.
Length (8 hours) requires sustained attention.
Minimal ambient sound; it’s pure narration.

Verdict
Ballerini’s nuanced performance respects Dick’s complex world while making it accessible for listeners who appreciate depth over theatrical flair. Ideal for readers of speculative fiction, alternate‑history enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a well‑crafted, intellectually engaging audiobook

Loved other novels by PKD this one is not very good, wouldn’t waste the credit

Bad Plot

Firstly, when I searched for this title Audible presented the German language version, with its thumbnail entirely in ENGLISH, resulting in me buying it and then having to get to my credit returned.... The when I buy the Rnglish version, the story is lacklustre. the narration and characterisation is good, but the story itself is weak

Disappointed
