Debut novel FREIHEIT published

Ben Pickering

This Sunday will mark the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War.

On Monday, my debut novel FREIHEIT – a dystopian alternative history thriller set in a world where Adolf Hitler had never existed – will be available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, Smashwords and Kobo in paperback and on Kindle and ebook.

It’s a dystopian, alternative history thriller set a couple of years from now in London in a world where Adolf Hitler had never existed…

Based on a script written back in 1996 by my producing partner Darren Ripley and I around a crazy idea he had, when I entered the Big Brother house for an extended stay in 2014 (if you don’t know about this, Wikipedia has a lovely but fair article about it!) I took the script with me and decided to turn it into a book.

14 hours a day behind the door saw me write half a million words during my stay.

This novel is the first part of that.

And proof that out of the worst of times can come hugely positive things.

If you like THE HUNGER GAMES or THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, this just might be for you…

I’d love to know what you all think of it, good and bad. Who knows where this one’s going………… ?
