Hello everyone. Hope all is well. I just finished a book by Michael Slade called "Swastika" about a serial killer in Canada. Although I am not really into these thriller books it was on sale and I needed something new for work during down time let me tell you the actual story is really well thought out and seems to be well researched. The book takes you from the present to the last days of the third reich usually alternating b/w chapters. It focuses on the development of some pretty peculiar Nazi wonder weapons and the evil minds they spawned from. I don't want to give a lot of it away so I won't, but if anyone is interested it's a pretty good read. And if any of the things that are said are facts you'll be sitting there saying no @#$%^& way. Highly recommended.


Happy reading,


Z.

The last Michael Slade book I read was the one with the sasquatch in it, and I thought they couldn't get any wierder..... Obviously I was wrong.

By a process of elimination, the last one I read was Cut throat. Slade's first (Headhunter) is amazingly similar to Dean R Koontz's Whispers.
