The Man in High Castle Audio Book Summary:
In this alternate take on history, we see a world where the allies lost World War 2 and the world has been occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan. In this alternate reality universe, slavery has once again been made legal and the few surviving Jews are living in fear and hiding under new names.
This terrifying vision of a world that could have been paints a stark reality and a realization that one simple change in the past can cause a torrent of change that may not be all for the better. Philip K. Dick cements his status as one of the best science fiction writers of all time with this classic novel which is now available in audiobook form and is narrated by the talented Jeff Cummings.
One reason to listen:
Science fiction enthusiasts will love this great work from the master story teller himself and casual fans will enjoy this suspenseful retelling of historical fiction of a dark world that could have been.

Reactions:
“The Man in the High Castle is Dick’s masterpiece. Along with VALIS and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It completes the trilogy of the author’s essential works. A must read for Dickheads or for anyone who considers himself a serious fan of science fiction.” – Edward J. Tabler

“Alternate histories are so commonplace in sci-fi today, that it is important to look at this book as the one that really started it all. A completely original masterpiece…even the followers can’t keep up.” – A Customer

“Philip K. Dick’s masterpiece is one of the classics of the alternative history genre. This was my first Philip K.Dick novel and it’s so good that I want to light up a Land-o-Smiles and read everything he’s ever written.” – Suetonius

“Overall, I would have to say that I would not recommend this book to anyone that liked the Amazon series. The only reason I even finished the book is that I figured the ending would have to lead up to something grand.” – Kindle Customer

“I guess, overall, my feeling about the book is that it was generally flat. It didn’t involve me with the characters or with the world it created. I felt like I was an uninterested observer watching the events from a distance. It failed to convey to me any of the sense of convincing veracity which I think any novel needs, at least to an extent, to succeed.” – A Customer
