Synopsis

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 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.

I recently reviewed Invitation to Valhalla which I enjoyed very much and motivated me to read the sequel, Blood of the Reich by Mike Whicker. No it isn’t a vampire novel, but it is just as enthralling. It continues the story of Ericka, a German spy who is sent to the United States to spy on a plant......more

Read as audiobook. Not a bad little pot boiler. I'd put it between a 3 and a 4 if possible. I'll read another by this author as honestly it was a bit of an adventure tale. Beach reading? Escapism? Sure thing, and that's just fine too. Like ice cream for.dinner.......more

Goodreads review by Alan on August 21, 2013

As a lover of Dietrich's "Ethan Gage" novels, I was really keen to see what he could do in a different genre - that of the occult thriller. And certainly there's all the ingredients here for a fantastic work. A tight, exciting story, interesting characters, fast-moving plotline, a gob-smacking termi......more
