### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating
  

*by F***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022*

A fascinating story of the V2, from both a German and British perspective, entirely plausible, and very enjoyable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Opposite sides of one story.
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020*

The author did a fantastic job capturing the ambience and real characters who were involved with and affected by the V2 rocket program during the latter days of world war two. The most impressive accomplishment was breathing life into two protagonists on opposite sides of the conflict, in Britain and in Nazi occupied Netherlands.The only reason I didn't assign five stars was that I felt there was enough material here to justify a longer book, developing the historical material more deeply. For example, the launching of the missiles continued for four more months beyond the November 1944 setting, while allied troops were nearby on their advance toward Berlin.  There may have also been a great story in how the scientists and engineers managed to avoid the Russians and deliver themselves into the hands of the Americans. Also, the two protagonists eventually met in London after the war, but their relationship was never developed.I leaned quite a bit about how the missiles operated and how their launch sites can be determined from calculating their parabolic trajectories using quadratic equations with logarithmic exponents.A very rewarding read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Extremely well-researched historical novel doesn't disappoint.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2021*

V2 is an excellent historical novel on one of Nazi Germany’s more radical (and desperate) attempts to turn the tide of WWII. Although not as effective as some of their other offenses, the dread caused by silent rockets that traveled twice the speed of sound weighed heavily upon an apprehensive Britain, making up for the lack of actual casualties in sheer terror.Robert Harris’ well-researched rendering of the V2 story follows two characters through the latter part of the war, Kay, a British analyst with the UK’s Women's Auxiliary Air Force, and Graf, a German rocket engineer deployed to Western Europe to assist in launching the attacks that take a mere five minutes to reach London.  In a race against time the WAAF, stationed in Belgium close to the rocket launchers, attempt to track the rockets upon launch with sophisticated mathematics in order to alert RAF Spitfires to strike the German attackers before they are able to move their mobile launchers. It’s real cat and mouse stuff and the stakes couldn’t be higher.As mentioned, the details in V2 are top-notch, from the billeting of British personnel in an unwilling population’s locale where years of war have left the Belgians weary and hungry, to the rocket science that propelled the V2s half a mile per second. There are trysts, betrayals, and suspense to spare in this fascinating story. The Gestapo are seen as they no doubt were, a brutal secret police force that struck fear into their allies and foes alike. I was more than impressed that Robert Harris was able to pen this book in a relatively short time, during the initial Covid-19 lockdown. Kudos for this remarkable effort.
