Book Review of The 34th Degree: A Thriller

The 34th Degree: A Thriller


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.
