Review Praise for The British Lion: “Schumacher has done his historical research about Nazis, their sympathizers, and the Holocaust. He mixes those facts into a riveting story, creating an alternate history that will have readers trembling with the realistic possibilities. This is a must-read.” (Blackfive.net)“Within this foggy moral atmosphere . . . Schumacher creates a believable yet depressing occupied England, frozen and snow-covered. . . . Believable alternate history laced with multiple gunfights, turncoat duplicity, and an ending sure to propel the British Lion back into action.” (Kirkus Reviews)“The British Lion is . . . very good. . . . [It] definitely does both the thriller and alternate history genre proud. . . . Tony Schumacher is writing award-winning level fiction here and I would love to see him continue to do it for a long time.” (Amazingstoriesmag.com)

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Brilliant! By Darcia Helle If I could have found time to read this book all at once, I would not have put it down. I was engrossed, riveted. I didn't want to blink.Some authors excel at creating characters, others at plot. Tony Schumacher excels at both. Pinpointing what I loved most is impossible, because I loved every aspect, every little nuance, of this story.Let's start with the plot. This is historical fiction, based on an alternate version of WWII. Here, the Nazis have won the war and taken over Britain. The US is supporting Hitler. While this might sound crazy on the surface, Schumacher shows us just how easily this could have occurred. We see how one little turn of events creates a landslide in an entirely different direction. Schumacher clearly knows his history and he mixes those facts throughout, using the reality of WWII as a backdrop to his alternate world. The result is a plot so realistic that I found myself shuddering against the possibilities.While the plot kept me on edge and happily uncomfortable (an oxymoron, I know!), the characters held the power. They are real and flawed and oh so human. My emotions were all wrapped up in theirs. The intensity left me breathless.This book is the sequel to The Darkest Hour. While you could essentially read this one as a stand-alone, I highly recommend starting with the first book. The experience is unforgettable, and will leaving you asking, "What if?"*A massive thank you to the publisher for allowing me an early read!*
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The British Lion By Clare O'Beara This continues the dark tale of Britain under the Nazis in the 1940s. With the fall of Moscow and Britain, the US never entered the war and now does business with the victors. We get some possible politics of this situation, based on characters of the day.Rossett, the policeman who was severely injured while aiding the escape of a Jewish boy, returns; his SS boss Koehler decides to cover up the matter and allow Rossett to return to work as a London policeman. But the abduction of the SS man's wife and daughter brings the two to work together again, not much more trustful than they had been. American spies and the attempt to construct an atom bomb lead the tale to Cambridge, where Rossett has to choose whether to help a Jewish scientist, Ruth, who wants to take her secrets with her out of the country.More than anything this 1947 tale is wintry, a winter of the heart and spirit as much as bitter cold. I admire the work that has gone into creating the alternate timeline and events and characters consistent with the day. I did catch one phrase that seemed too modern - a man says he lives off the grid. I don't know how old the phrase is but I've never seen it in 1940s works.There's strong language, violence, deaths and a continuous undercurrent of menace. After all, the Nazis are in power, and they are using the excuse of a continued war with Russia to justify destroying populations. Too much violence for me but some readers won't mind and will rate it more highly. Read The British Lion for a dark, fast-paced thriller and take it as an allegory for modern conflicts.

By jackie This a terrific read and one that will keep you wanting to find out what happens next, at the end of every chapter! Just when you think you have established what path the characters will follow, there is a twist and often I gasped aloud to discover something different. The Britsh Lion will not disappoint any reader. Once you have this in your possession, you will not want to put it down. Forget any plans you have and immerse yourself in the world of The Britsh Lion.
