A mind-bending, thrilling journey into 20th-century history and outer space - ''a brightly coloured portrait of our times that is alternatively intimate and epic . . . brilliant'' (Independent on Sunday).

In 1941, Larry Zagorski was a naïve young writer of science-fictionSeven decades on, he looks back on that crucial year and traces his place in a mysterious web - one that connects the Second World War with the Space Age, stretches from London to Cuba and Southern California, and links Ian Fleming with Rudolf Hess in a conspiracy that reverberates in the present.

Could this be the secret history of the 20th century? In a mesmerising novel peopled by spies and propagandists, the conned and the heartbroken, dreamers and fanatics, the question is: who will you believe?
