*** Shortly after publication in Germany, the book ranked #1 in the categories “Military History” and “Norse Mythology” *** In WWII, soldiers of the Wehrmacht confiscate a cryptic stone slab. Rudolf Krieger, SS-Sturmbannführer and archaeologist, deciphers the inscription – and instantly knows that this revelation could lead the Third Reich to victory. Lydia Fuchs, a dangerous woman with even more dangerous powers, accompanies him – as does a regiment of hand-picked German elite soldiers, the “Gebirgsjäger”. Among them are Konrad and Daniel, two close friends, who quickly realise that their mission is special - and deadlier than anything they have encountered so far. The veil that divides the world of mortals and gods is thinning … WWII meets Norse mythology – a gritty, explosive mixture full of surprises. (On the Amazon author page you can watch a video trailer about Operation Thule) ”Those slain by mighty Fenrir shall be bound to him until the end of all days, until Ragnarök …” ”It looked as if hundreds of fireflies were racing through the air. The innumerable shots und gun salvos merged into a single, long thunderclap, a choral work of destruction …” Reviews of the German edition (translated): This mix of WWII and the supernatural/fantasy is highly entertaining and reminds the reader of a version of Indiana Jones that plays in the forecourt of Hell, in particular because it is told from the perspective of German soldiers. The reader can expect an action-packed (and yes, sometimes brutal) chase through various theaters of war and places of Norse mythology. The book develops a pull, both because of the setting and the fact that the author succeeds in skillfully weaving the “supernatural” into the story. What an adventure! The writing style leaves you no choice but to read on: I really thought that I could hear the bullets whizz past my ear, and more than once I had the feeling that it might be best to take cover behind my couch.
