"12 May 1940. Westminster, London, England: the early days of World War II. Again. Raybould Marsh, one of "our" Britain's best spies, has travelled to another Earth in a desperate attempt to save at least one timeline from the Cthulhu-like monsters who have been observing our species from space and have already destroyed Marsh's timeline. In order to accomplish this, he must remove all traces of the supermen that were created by the Nazi war machine and caused the spectors from outer space to notice our planet in the first place. His biggest challenge is the mad seer Greta, one of the most powerful of the Nazi creations, who has sent a version of herself to this timeline to thwart Marsh. Why would she stand in his way? Because she has seen that in all the timelines she dies and she is determined to stop that from happening, even if it means destroying most of humanity in the process. And Marsh is the only man who can stop her. Necessary Evil is the stunning conclusion to Ian Tregillis's Milkweed series"--

Ce troisième et dernier tome de la trilogie de Ian Tregillis se lit avec plaisir. Il est bien construit et clôt parfaitement cette histoire alternative de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.
I've been thinking about this books ending and I have to give it to Ian Tregillis for not going for the easy out. I was expecting a different ending entirely. But, by going for a messy ending I thought he made the story more compelling. I'm sorry to see these characters and story end.
Necessary Evil completes Ian Tregillis's alternate-history trilogy (or triptych, as he calls it). The three books together form a tale of adventure, of unspeakable evil, of supernatural powers, and of heroism.
It is a good tale, well told.
