2020: World of War

2020: World of War is a dystopian novel by British author Paul Cornish and American author Kingsley Donaldson, published by Hodder & Stoughton in 2018. The novel is set in an alternate timeline where World War I never ended, and the world has been divided into three warring factions: the Allies, the Central Powers, and the Neutral Zone. The story follows three main characters: a British soldier fighting on the front lines, an American journalist investigating the war, and a German scientist working on a new weapon that could tip the balance of power in the world.
The novel was praised for its realistic and gritty portrayal of war, and for its exploration of themes such as nationalism, patriotism, and the human cost of conflict. However, it was also criticized for its slow pacing and its lack of a clear resolution.
