Branches: A Novel
by Adam Peter Johnson
"Sometimes it feels like everything caught fire at once. The world took a wrong turn somewhere.” What if you discovered the world really did take a wrong turn? If you were offered a way out, would you take it? ... And at what cost?
2021. The good news is that the pandemic never happened here. The bad news ... well, it's not great. The unthinkable happened. He won, again. And now there are tanks in the streets. Amid the spiraling chaos, one man is given a chance to escape his dystopian nightmare. But what will he find on the other side?
Readers are calling Branches “The Man in the High Castle for the age of doomscrolling.” The novel is a fast-paced mystery that combines the history-bending intrigue of Philip K. Dick and the science fiction thrills of Michael Crichton with a sharp sense of humor and takes readers on a deeply personal journey through fear, grief and redemption.
