In an alternate future in which Germany wins World War II and Britain becomes a fascist state, a vigilante named "V" tries to free England of its ideological chains.
This is a frightening and powerful story of the loss of freedom and individuality in a totalitarian England. Written against a backdrop of third term Thatcherism and tabloid rants against minorities, this is a work of startling clarity.
In a futuristic Britain where a totalitarian regime rules, a young woman is rescued from death by a masked vigilante calling himself "V," who launches a one-man crusade against government tyranny and oppression.
