I read it last year. Robinson is a superp writer and a book based around slavery in the US was certainly a change for him. But like all his other fiction it is both funny and hard hitting.
I would also recommend "Invasion:1940" a non fiction book by Robinson that puts the battle of Britain in a somewhat different light.
I?ve read it too! In fact I?ve read almost everything he?s written apart from a couple of the early ?spy? stories which I?ve been unable to obtain.
I thought ?Invasion? was good but a little biased. I agree (and several other historians have proposed it) that it would have been almost impossible to two invasion barges across the channel without first suppressing the Royal Navy.
However, in the book I feel he takes the anti-RAF stance a little too far and the book is unbalanced because of it.
