Lead review in "On Books":  The Separation by Christopher Priest
(published by... moi!)

It begins:

"An alternative history of World War II is the central SF theme in this
ambitious novel from Priest.  But to describe the story so simply is to
give it far less than its due.  This isn't just another in the long list
of 'Nazis win' potboilers; instead, it uses the possibility of a
different historical outcome to take a close look at a number of deep
questions of history and morality"

It ends:

"It's one of the best alternative histories I've read.  Don't miss
it."
