“Literally could not put this book down… I know it’s a cliche, but it’s true. I have missed two deadlines for a work project because of this book!”
“Anthony Williams writes an excellent what-if. His book covers the many constraints which held back the real-life developments while covering the possibilities made possible by hindsight.”
“Picked it up once, put it down only once till I finished it. Lots of arguable plot twists (as in all books like this), but loved it.”
