Q. You are a big fan of thrillers. How do you think reading widely in this genre has benefitted your own writing? The Führer’s Prophecy by number one bestselling author Brian Klein is a wild rollercoaster that’s thrilling from the beginning to the end. January 1939. Adolf Hitler makes an infamous speech at the Reichstag threatening “The annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe”. This vile public proclamation is seized upon by his fanatical supporters who christen it “The Führer’s Prophecy”. These sections uncover the foundations of the main story, where we learn of Hitler’s speech at the Reichstag in January 1939 announcing his ambition to wipe out the Jewish people, which came to be known as ‘The Führer’s Prophecy’. Without giving anything away, the final scenes – where the Israeli national intelligence agency Mossad shoot it out with the Taliban – will have you jumping out of your seat in excitement, and it ends on a killer cliff-hanger that will have you at the front of the queue when the third and final instalment of Klein’s The Reich Trilogy is released.

As the book moves along, the police seem to find themselves one step behind, this just heightens the tension and drama, the ending is in someways is different from the norm as to the outcome, To some degree it poses some interesting (if only) questions

Thanks to a team of unscrupulous boffins at his disposal, he has created a super drug that when ingested by women renders them infertile.

For almost three years Hitler, Bormann and Eva Braun had been living in secrecy in the obscure town of El Calafate, situated near the edge of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in the Argentine province of Santa Cruz. Bormann had masterminded the trio’s escape from Berlin twenty-four hours before the Red Army reached Hitler’s infamous bunker, and the three of them now lived under fake identities in an enormous farmhouse known as El Blondi, along with four guards, a maid, a housekeeper and a cook. They’d taken the surname Franklin, with Hitler and Bormann posing as brothers Gerald and Ronald, and Eva Braun playing the role of Gerald’s wife, Emilia Franklin. The way that these different strands come together so cohesively in the book, and how they are amply supported by a well-drawn rollcall of heroes and antagonists – including Hitler himself – is no doubt thanks to Klein’s expertise in delivering much-watch television. Now, by popular demand, Klein has written a sequel, The Führer’s Prophecy, which forms the second part of the newly labelled ‘Reich Trilogy’, and which is just as, if not more, entertaining than the original entry.This is the 2nd novel in the ‘Reich’ trilogy, I have not yet read the first (though that will be rectified), I can say though that this easily reads as a standalone 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. An Argentine commentator was talking over the Hebrew speech in Latin American Spanish, which Bormann was doing his best to translate.

A. My favourite thrillers have great stories and plot twists but are always believable as well as having strong characters. Q. How did writing The Führer's Prophecy differ to writing The Counterfeit Candidate? Was it easier, or perhaps more challenging in certain ways?

I thought the main protagonists to be quite interesting, it is quite different to mix an Argentian detective with one from the LAPD mixed with Mossad, however, it works, they combine as a team, as for the bad guys, the author has crafted and written these in a way that you get a real sense of who they are, ruthless and cold blooded, I would imagine that if you had read the first book, you would have a better understanding for the characters, though it did not spoil anything
