The Ottoman Secret Bewertungen

The best what-if thriller for a long, long time -- LEE CHILD
A tour de force in both storytelling and breadth of concept. It is story not just of an alternate history but a cautionary tale that directly impacts and reflects upon the struggles of our time and place. It is thrilling, disturbing, inspiring, and left me all too often in awe. This book will make you look at history-and your role in it-in an all new light. Be prepared to be forever impacted, forever changed. -- JAMES ROLLINS
A dystopian thriller that wears its smartness on its sleeve . . . will appeal to fans of The Handmaid's Tale . . . I suspect that this summer, you'll never be far from someone who has been claimed by The Ottoman Secret * Independent *
Alternate histories don't get much better than this thought-provoking mind bender... Superior and plausible worldbuilding matches an ingeniously imaginative conceit. This ranks as a classic of the genre. * Publishers Weekly *

Raymond Khoury has created an alternative history tale that will blow your mind. A story strung along the centuries that is thoroughly engrossing and one you will long remember. -- DAVID BALDACCI
The real excitement in Khoury's complex multi-plot comes not from the thrills on the surface, but from the ideas underneath * The Wall Street Journal *
Alternate history...tons of adventure...this is real fun. Not just an intelligent, immersive thriller, but also a timely visit to a reality that easily could've been. So well researched and written it feels chillingly real. As thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
Alternative history yarns are still very much in vogue and Raymond Khoury has come up with a fine addition to the genre. * Weekend Sport *
