Product Information

They are the definitive due you will love to hate, and you’ll be rooting for their comeuppance while cheering on Vargas and Hembury every step of the way.

In fact, it’s as close as a novel can come to offering the full cinema experience, being extremely visual with well-defined characters, popping dialogue and dramatic settings flying out at you. A. It’s a very strange fit as for 35 years I’ve been known as a TV director, but I have to admit I love the fit and I hope that’s where my future lies. Based on an idea he first came up with while at university, one half of the story sees Hitler and Braun flee Europe and begin again in the relative obscurity of El Calafate in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina.A. I’ve been massively surprised by the response to my first novel which thousands of people appear to have enjoyed. I never imagined such a positive reaction. It’s no spoiler to reveal that rumours of Franklin’s death have been greatly exaggerated and, in fact, he has been in hiding ever since his fall, biding his time until the moment to strike again arose.

Not one word is wasted in this thrilling tale which brings everything to the stage – plots and double plots, bullet-drenched battles, torture, and murder.

Whether it’s the satisfying way that Vargas and Hembury slowly piece together the clues, the brutal battles and ruthless dispatches, or the rising tension that permeates every chapter as the good guys try to catch up with the Nazi villains, Klein handles it all in a way that suggests he’d be a natural in Hollywood.

The Führer makes an infamous speech at the Reichstag in Berlin, threatening “The annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe”. The vile public proclamation is seized upon by his fanatical supporters who christen it “The Führer’s Prophecy”. With a TV adaption of The Counterfeit Candidate now in motion, this is the ideal time to jump into The Reich Trilogy, with the full throttle ending of The Führer’s Prophecy leaving you immensely satisfied yet deliciously hungry for the grand finale. The fact that this actually happened makes it all the more distressing and adds extra force to the diabolic nature of Hitler’s fictional descendant. Hembury, meanwhile, is past his prime but ready for one last mission alongside his buddy to finish what they started with Franklin.The cultured voice on the radio that had sparked Hitler’s anger belonged to David Ben-Gurion, the executive head of the World Zionist Organization, who was declaring the establishment of a Jewish homeland to be known as the State of Israel.

You never had any particular aspirations to become an author, but thanks to popular demand you are now completing a trilogy, ‘The Reich Trilogy’. How does being known as a best-selling author now fit with you? It’s a complex plan and one that requires the support of the criminal underworld to execute. Accordingly, Franklin recruits a team of mercenaries and terrorists only too happy to do his bidding. A. My favourite thrillers have great stories and plot twists but are always believable as well as having strong characters.

Senator John Franklin, hailed as the Great Unifier, secures the Republican Presidential nomination and seems destined for the Oval Office. Despite the sixty-seven-year interval and a span of thirteen thousand miles, these events are indelibly linked.It took the three men a whole eight months until the tunnel was completed. They were smart lighting up the tunnel standing inside the giant vault. Vargas and his colleague Troy Hembury, a lieutenant in the Los Angeles Police Department, are equally determined to solve the case, putting their lives at risk in the process. And he’s been busy formulating ‘Operation Gesamtkunstwerk’, which involves the development of a fiendish new super drug that is undetectable and which, when consumed, renders women infertile. All them were cautious not to be seen by the six CCTV cameras so they all wore plastic monkey masks.
