A. I’ve been massively surprised by the response to my first novel which thousands of people appear to have enjoyed. I never imagined such a positive reaction. A superb thriller where Mossad and the Taliban come head to head, The Führer’s Prophecy builds upon its prequel and, with a jaw-dropping finale, sets us up for a third and final entry in what is now called ‘The Reich Trilogy’. The Führer's Prophecy is, though, first and foremost intended as entertainment, and it doesn’t disappoint. The addictive, punchy plot then moves to the Middle East and Iran, where we meet more ruthless murderous from The Taliban, who are only too willing to join the cause against their bitter Israeli enemy.

Bormann, the ultimate arch-manipulator, had known this day was coming for months and had prepared a surprise to lift his beloved Führer’s spirits. A. I just want them to be kept on the edge of their seats as they read the novel, and to enjoy it as a work of fiction. Whether it’s the satisfying way that Vargas and Hembury slowly piece together the clues, the brutal battles and ruthless dispatches, or the rising tension that permeates every chapter as the good guys try to catch up with the Nazi villains, Klein handles it all in a way that suggests he’d be a natural in Hollywood.

This, in turn, is thanks to Klein’s gift for weaving fact and fiction into a cohesive, compelling whole, and, thankfully, this signature style is once again on full display in The Führer's Prophecy. The Führer’s Prophecy by number one bestselling author Brian Klein is a wild rollercoaster that’s thrilling from the beginning to the end. And in an example of Klein’s clever blending of fact and fiction we see – in tragic detail – the origins of Franklin’s super drug, with Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, the ‘Angel of Death’, conducting cruel experiments on female inmates of dreaded concentration camp Auschwitz.

A. It’s a very strange fit as for 35 years I’ve been known as a TV director, but I have to admit I love the fit and I hope that’s where my future lies.There are plenty of twists and turns and some unexpected moments, equally, it is not without its cliffhanger chapter endings, it is a punchy read, but as a thriller for me it worked, pure escapist entertainment, definitely a rollercoaster of a read, and your’e never quite sure as to what the outcome will be. This chilling speech, given at the Reichstag in January 1939, would soon come to be labelled ‘The Führer’s Prophecy’. He clearly knows, then, how to make something that is accessible, entertaining, and unmissable, with more hooks on display than you’d find at a fishing tournament.

He slowly walked across the room to his imposing desk and slumped into the chair behind it, shaking his head in denial of the new reality. January 1939.

This vile public proclamation is seized upon by his fanatical supporters who christen it “The Führer’s Prophecy”. I also loved the way the story develops, leading us across the globe, and how it shows us many different perspectives, from those of the cold-blooded killers to the casualties in waiting.
