A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Just a warning...when starting this book make sure you don't have anywhere you need to be or anything you need to do because you won't want to stop reading until you've finished it all!! Trust me on this! "The Reich Device" starts off with an intriguing beginning and just keeps going from there, with one surprising turn after another...'
--by Brenda, Indie Book Reviewers (rated 5 stars)
'The Reich Device by Richard D. Handy was of the most original, complex, and brilliantly-crafted novels I've read in a long time! I was completely drawn in from the opening scene that sets the unique, almost movie-like mood right away, and absolutely loved the author's style of writing. Very fast-paced, yet really descriptive and with detail and passion and intelligent, multilayered sub plots on a global scale...

'I had a great time reading "The Reich Device" by Richard D. Handy. Almost non-stop drama and a fast moving plot kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The writing was excellent, very few errors as far as I could tell which is always a huge plus on my end. I hate sloppy editing! Really enjoyed philosophical angle that helped to shed some light on the role of science and politics in Nazi ideology... it was provocative and eye-opening, and the way that the authors infused them with authentic, flawed characters and a compelling storyline - makes it feel that much more believable. Almost like a blend of fact and fiction, if you will. I was really impressed with the writing style, the brisk pacing and strong word choice works well here, and it seems like Handy has done his homework, as the level of historical and technical and scientific detailing was certainly impressive. Recommend for fans of historical fiction/espionage/political thrillers.'

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Professor Gustav Mayer is riddled with guilt after making a monumental discovery: a new technology a century ahead of its time. But his secret is not safe, the world is not safe - a new menace rises in 1930's Germany. Mayer's world spirals out of control; hunted by ruthless killers from the newly formed SS, a game of brinkmanship begins. Who is the grey man? Assassin or protector? A global trail of espionage leads from Berlin to New York, Cairo, and London - but is it all a grand deception? What are German spies doing in South Africa? What does this have to do with big American corporations? Meanwhile, Mayer is forced to work on fledgling rocket technology for the new regime in Berlin, but his captors suspect he conceals an even greater secret. British intelligence makes a bold attempt to rescue Mayer, but the plan goes wrong and Mayer is critically injured. Mayer is interrogated by the ruthless Commandant Kessler, and in a moment of delirium mutters a vital part of his secret; but it doesn't make any sense. Mayer is moved to the infamous V1 rocket site at Peenemünde - a smoke screen for a more deadly ultra top secret weapon - but time is running out. A daring fight in the swamp forests of Zululand, and the duping of British intelligence, gets crucial raw materials back to Germany. But the game is not over until the last man is standing - assassins on both sides have men to kill. This scientific thriller, with its intricate plot, will appeal to fans of Robert Harris's Fatherland, Guy Saville's Afrika Reich and Clive Cussler's The Spy.
