In Dominion, did you enjoy ...

... the suspenseful, goal-driven plot set in an alternate history where WWII ended differently?

Fatherland by Robert Harris

If you loved the sense of urgency and the 'what if?' tension of Dominion, you'll be gripped by Fatherland. Harris weaves a compelling alternate history in which a detective, Xavier March, uncovers a deadly secret in a victorious Nazi Germany. Like David Fitzgerald's mission in Dominion, March’s investigation propels the narrative with high stakes and a constant sense of danger.

... the detailed alternate history worldbuilding with a chillingly plausible twist on real events?

The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

If you admired the intricate and immersive alternate 1950s Britain of Dominion, you’ll be fascinated by Roth’s The Plot Against America. Roth reimagines the United States under a fascist-leaning Charles Lindbergh presidency, depicting the resulting shifts in society with painstaking detail and authenticity—much like Sansom’s vividly realized occupied Britain.

... the dark, morally ambiguous atmosphere and conflicted protagonists?

SS-GB by Len Deighton

If you were drawn to David Fitzgerald’s internal struggles and the moral compromises he faces in Dominion, SS-GB will resonate with you. Deighton’s detective Archer navigates a Nazi-occupied London, torn between duty and conscience, echoing the ethical gray areas and hard choices found in Sansom’s novel.

... the multi-layered narrative that weaves together several plotlines and perspectives?

A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe

If you enjoyed how Dominion juggled espionage, resistance, and personal intrigue, you’ll appreciate the complex, interwoven stories in A Man in Full. Wolfe crafts a sprawling narrative with multiple protagonists whose ambitions and secrets collide, creating a tapestry as rich and layered as Sansom’s alternative Britain.

... the exploration of dystopian elements and the chilling consequences of an Axis victory?

The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick

If you found the oppressive, chillingly plausible dystopia of Nazi-occupied Britain in Dominion compelling, The Man in the High Castle is a must-read. Dick’s classic explores a world where the Axis powers have won WWII, delving into the everyday realities and subtle resistances of life under fascist rule.
