And now a pick from Hubby- combining fiction and history, we have a fast paced thriller for you today!
Synopsis: On the eve of World War II, explorer Kurt Raeder receives orders from ReichsfÜhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler to set out from Berlin in search of a legendary energy source hidden among the mountains of Tibet—one that could bring victory to the Nazis. Only one man can stop Raeder and his team of SS officers: wealthy American zoologist Benjamin Hood. Together with aviatrix Beth Calloway, he must race to the Buddhist kingdom before the tides of history run red with blood.
Decades later, in present-day Seattle, software publicist Rominy Pickett is saved from certain death by a mysterious journalist who claims to know the truth about her family. Rominy’s history and courage hold the key to defeating, once and for all, the evil forces again on the rise.
Moving from the remote woods of the Pacific Northwest to the underground laboratories of the CERN supercollider in France and Switzerland and to the mystical temples of Tibet, Blood of the Reich is a white-knuckle thrill ride filled with adventure, authentic historical detail, and unforgettable characters. This is William Dietrich at his very best
About the Author: William grew up near Puget Sound in the shadow of Mount Rainier, and loved history since his childhood. He attended Fairhaven College, an experimental liberal arts division of Western Washington University. Interest in actually getting paid for writing led him to journalism at Western, and his first job was covering agricultural Skagit County for the Bellingham, WA, Herald. As proof that life moves in circle, he moved back to the same rural area a quarter-century later, and now resides only twenty miles from his first bureau office.
In 2006, he took a half-time position as an assistant professor teaching environmental journalism and writing at Western, advising a student magazine called Planet. He has left that position in June of 2011 to focus on his own writing. He is married to the same wonderful woman he met in college, and they have two grown daughters, four grandchildren, and when not writing he reads, hikes, sails, travels, and waves around the Roman cavalry sword my wife got to inspire me.
Review: Blood of the Reich is a action/sci-fi story that jumps between events, set shortly before WWII and present day. A interesting thing is that SS chief Himmler actually did send scientific groups out on archaeological missions, like the group in the book, looking for links to the "Aryan" race. The book begins with Neo-Nazi's blowing up the chief character ( Rominy Pickett)'s, Mini Cooper and goes through a roller coaster of twists and turns, with deceit and betrayals throughout, to the ultimate conclusion of the story.
The thing that triggers the current day events is the key Nazi from the 1938 expedition to Tibet, Kurt Raeder has been waiting for certain events to happen. It is a interesting historical based mystery/sci-fi/adventure, and you will probably find it worth reading, no matter what your interest in history.
