This is Greanias' fifth book, and equal to his fourth, though I enjoyed fourth more. In this saga of Sam Deker, Greanias tells a great WWII story, "forcing" the present-day Deker into the storyline, which was not needed, as the story could have easily stood on its own as a WWII "period" thriller. Ditto with Geanias' fourth book, "The Promised War", but I digress.

In this story, we find a Nazi with a royal lineage who wants to place himself on a revised "throne" of a revitalized Germany, once he finds a way to eliminate Hitler. He actually develops a means to do so, except those pesky Allies have to send in a spy to mess with him! Our spy, Chris Andros, escapes more sure death situations than James Bond and Indiana Jones combined! Much like Dan Brown's "Deception Point", this book would make an amazing action movie. Overall, it's a fun read, if a bit unrealistic and fanciful.

Back in 1943, the secret Maranaha text has fallen into the hands of the Nazis. The biblical text holds the newest mind-altering technology that can be used as an ultimate weapon.

Now, Doctor Prestwick has given the 34th degree, a neuro simulation program, to Sam Deker and sends him back into time. They use the dead brain cells of SS General Ludwig von Berg, the legendary Baron of the Black Order, Deker's job is to locate he Maranaha text and steal them before they fall into the hands of the Nazis. With von Berg's memories and intel, it should make Deker's job a little bit easier.

The 34th Degree is a phenomenal thriller! Flipping back between the present day and the past, there is alot going on. Between the Templars taking he Maranatha text to Rome, the espionage and the adventure, there is not a paragraph you will want to miss! Between Greece, Germany, America hitting Sicily and the spies, you'll be on the edge-of-your-seat. Don't miss this one!!
