The Madagaskar plan : a novel
Ten years after the peace deal between Britain and Germany at Dunkirk, tensions are beginning to arise around the world - especially in Africa, where the British, Portuguese and ever-expansive German colonies rub against each other. British mercenary Burton Cole is back in England, desperate to find his lover, Madeleine. When he discovers that her husband, Crawley, has had her deported to Madagaskar, the African island converted by the Nazis into a vast prison camp for the Jews - he jumps at the chance to join a secret American mission to go there and make contact with Jewish nuclear scientists. But Burton is heading into even more danger than he could have imagined. Brutal, cinematic action, rollercoaster non-stop surprise and meticulous research with real places that the Nazis had for Europe and Africa in the Third Reich are the hallmarks of Guy Saville's terrific novels of alternate history.

There is peace in Europe, but a victorious Germany continues to consolidate power in Afrika. The lynchpin to their final solution is Madagaskar. In order to permanently contain the undesirable race, Hitler has approved the resettlement of European Jews to the remote island. Odilo Globocnik, SS Governor of Madagaskar, fiercely administrates the outpost, while extracting minerals and vanilla for the enrichment of the expanding Reich. In Mozambique, British forces plan to free Madagaskar, setting their sights on the critical port city of Diego. Relying on the expertise of Jacques Salois, an escaped leader of Jewish resistance, they plot to incite a colony-wide revolt.Into this roiling landscape arrives ex-mercenary Burton Cole, who scours shanty towns and work camps for his beloved Madeleine and their child. But as chaos descends and Walter Hochburg, SS Governor of Kongo, comes ever closer to exacting revenge, Cole must decide whether he is master, or at the mercy, of history.
