Synopsis

Set during the final months of World War II and its chaotic aftermath, this sprawling novel follows American lieutenant Tyrone Slothrop, whose mysterious sexual encounters seem to predict the locations of German V-2 rocket strikes on London. As multiple factions pursue Slothrop across war-ravaged Europe, the narrative spirals into a labyrinthine exploration of paranoia, technology, and the hidden forces shaping the modern world.
