|summary=Wilson has created here a place where worlds collide, firstly the worlds of the Red Army Faction of German terrorists in the 1960s and the world of the excesses of pop music in the same period, and then the world of fiction and history. While this fusion takes some work on the part of the reader, ultimately it is a revealing and entertaining exploration of both dimensions.

Ultimately I am not sure that the complexity of the issues and directions here can be truly borne by the Peter Urbach character, and such a situation called for a more subtle observer. For some, the conclusion may be rather trite, but the novel inspired me to undertake more background reading on Baader-Meinhoff and Green, so full marks for working with a theme to capture the imagination of at least this reader.
The novel for me definitely kindled a desire to find out more about the complex events of the Baader-Meinhof group and that 60's Germany which spawn them, and for that, one of the classic texts must be [[The Baader-Meinof Meinhof Complex by Stephan Stefan Aust][], at 500 pages a detailed documentation of the whole phenomenon.
