Robert Harris’s standalone novels range across history and genre, from the alternate history of “Fatherland” (1991) to the near-future speculation of “The Fear Index” (2011). Each book reflects his background as a journalist in its attention to detail and research.
His World War II novels include “Enigma” (1995), about codebreakers at Bletchley Park, “Munich” (2017), set during the 1938 crisis, and “V2” (2020), about the German rocket program. “An Officer and a Spy” (2013) tackles the Dreyfus Affair, while “Conclave” (2016) imagines the drama of a papal election. His most recent novel, “Precipice” (2024), continues his tradition of turning real historical events into gripping fiction.
