Best-selling Canadian author Kim Kinrade makes his US publishing debut with this exciting tale of intrigue and deception. Hitler and the SS formulate a plan to devastate the United States with a rocket attack during World War II. To carry out the plan, the Nazis set up a rocket base on a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Based on recently declassified US Coast Guard documents, Rockets of the Reich reveals one of the worst fears of President Roosevelt and the American military leaders of the time: could the V-2s that terrorized London make their way to American cities?

Editorial Reviews

Review

Rockets of the Reich is Kim Kinrade's fourth novel and easily his best. He weaves immaculate research with a wicked sense of pacing to create an alternative history page turner. This action-packed WWII novel asks the question: what if the nazis attempted a strike on continental USA from the east coast of Canada? Fans of Tom Clancy or Len Deighton will love this well-plotted sizzler -- Mark Sampson, Atlantic Progress, Halifax, Nova Scotia

5.0 out of 5 stars Great alternate history WW II read
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016

"Rockets of the Reich" was a really great read. I loved the plot, sort of an alternate World War II history one. The characters were great. I finished it in 2 days. It is true that there are where the author jumps over gaps, but I didn't find that much of a bother. The book could have been expanded to a Tom Clancy-length volume of twice the length to fill in these gaps, but for the price it is an excellent work.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting novel
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2013

For anyone who remembers the WWII classic the Eagle has Landed it will be impossible not to compare. Both present the dichotomy of the professional German soldier (a paratrooper in the Higgins book, a U Boat commander here) who fights for the homeland as his duty but is far from barbaric and the political SS/Gestapo men. it doesn't reach the mastery of the classic but it is an enjoyable read..

I didn't knew before reading it that Germans actually conducted experiments to equip submarines with rockets (actually in June 1942 the first ever documented rocked launch from a submerged u boat took place) and they did consider it as a mean to attack the US. So the novel is credible, a must in this genre

Hope you find this comment helpful and if you read the novel that you enjoy it!

Excellent story line, the author does what all authors should do... he makes you not want to put the book down, and if like myself who likes to read just before nodding off to sleep, it's a late night every night! You really get to hate the bad guys in this book, and some who you might think as the enemy, turn out to be the hero's in the end. Never a dull moment, well worth the read!

While I found this book to be enjoyable I did not find it one hard to put down, if you know what I mean. The plot seems possible and the action portion are okay. I found that to much time was spent on side issues that did not seem to have much to do with the overall plot. I really enjoyed the ending. All in all it is worth the price.

Having lived in Germany for six years, I am better equipped to understand the other side of the story, because all along I have
had to hear about the Victors story. So I am looking forward to reading this even though it is only a novel

Fast moving, technically intriguing and rich with characters, both real and fictional. Poses an interesting "what if ..." scenario that stays within the realm of plausibility. Would make a great movie!

In the beginning it seemed to fall from one scene to another without any connections but this made the book more interesting as it progressed. All these scenes came together and it made the story very more believable. I enjoyed the way all these characters meet and how they interact bringing all together at the end. The author ends the story on a note that leaves a positive message.

Recommended read based on theoretical attack methods for use on the US. Gripping and well-written enough to make you care about characters and continuing to the very end. I'll read more from this writer in future.

Although an interesting hypothesis it is let down by so many inconsistencies and, quite franky, in a lot of places a pretty preposterous plot line with what seems to be very little by way of research on any of the subject matter - apart from wikipedia maybe. Save you download space with this one and don't bother.
