Guy Saville

Guy Saville (born 1973) is a British author best known for The Afrika Reich trilogy, which includes The Afrika Reich (2011), The Madagaskar Plan (2015), and a forthcoming novel tentatively referred to as Afrika Three.

The Afrika trilogy imagines a universe in which the Nazis won World War II and the swastika flies over much of the world. Academic Gavriel Rosenfeld states that The Afrika Reich is part of a trend which "de-center[s] the Final Solution of the Jewish Question from the Third Reich's larger genocidal crimes".[1][2]

Saville's work has been described as "dystopian," and he believes that a rise in interest in dystopian fiction dovetailed with the presidency of Donald Trump in the United States.[3]

Saville resides in Colchester.[4]
