Combining the past with the present, author William Dietrich takes his readers on a chilling thrill ride in his latest novel, BLOOD OF THE REICH.
There is a legend that hidden in the mountains of Tibet there lies an amazing energy source, and the ones who have it are guaranteed victory in all they do. The Nazis want this energy source, and send out explorer Kurt Raeder to retrieve it. But the Americans know about this mission and they send their own team, headed by zoologist Benjamin Hood to try and beat the Nazis at their own game.
Racing forward to present day, software publicist Rominy Pickett receives a mysterious message that tells her that she is related to the brave explorer Hood, and that only she holds the key to the puzzle that will lead to the Tibetan energy.
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 an enthralling, mature story that is filled with adventure, authentic historical detail, and unforgettable characters.
I thought it was fascinating that Dietrich bases his story on fact. Himmler did indeed send scientific expeditions to Tibet in the 1930s in the hope of uncovering the roots of ancient legends. Fans of fast-paced, high adventure stories will enjoy this novel immensely.
In BLOOD OF THE REICH, critically acclaimed and bestselling
author William Dietrich weaves two stories separated by
place and time yet deeply intertwined by the dangerous
secret they share.
On the eve of World War II, explorer Kurt Raeder receives
orders from ReichsfΓhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler to set out from
Berlin in search of a legendary energy source hidden among
the mountains of Tibetβone 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.
Rominyβs 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.
