Review:

"A powerful and mysterious novel - totally gripping" (J.G. Ballard)

"A horrified and darkly comic response to the appeal of totalitarianism, a mixture of Orwellian satire, rural sentimentality and Kafkaesque nightmare..." (Guardian)

"Intensely original...humour and irony, and the smell of the English earth...Its value as literature becomes increasingly apparent at each re-reading" (Anthony Burgess)

"The Aerodrome has been called the best novel ever written about fascism...captures so well the sinister glamour...as unsettling today as when it appeared more than sixty years ago" (New Statesman)

"The only outstanding novelist of ideas whom the decade of ideas has produced is Rex Warner" (V.S. Pritchett)

Book Description:

'A haunting political allegory...a cracking beach read' The Times
