Gareth Rubin

Gareth Rubin is a British author and journalist who writes both fiction and non-fiction. Liberation Square is a thriller set in an alternate history where Britain was divided after the Second World War, with the south occupied by the Soviet Union and the north under American influence. The novel follows a woman in Soviet-controlled London who discovers that her husband may be hiding dangerous secrets. Rubin's premise creates a chilling and imaginative setting for a story about surveillance, paranoia and resistance in a totalitarian state that feels uncomfortably close to home. He has also written non-fiction including a history of the real-life Soviet spy network in Britain. His audiobooks and books offer readers inventive, thought-provoking fiction and non-fiction that plays with history to illuminate the present.
