The Führer's Prophecy (The Reich Trilogy)

Product Information

I always knew the idea required two timelines, one following Hitler’s secret, post-war life in Argentina and the other, a contemporary setting for the robbery and the 2012 Presidential campaign. I soon appreciated that in effect I was writing two books and the only way I could make that work, was to write them comletely separately. So, the contemporary story came first and then, when that was complete, I set about writing the story of Hitler’s post-war life in Argentina and his outrageous plan for building a Fourth Reich in the United States. Martin Bormann is a key figure in the book and the arch manipulator behind the masterplan to land Hitler’s grandson in the White House. Potent themes of loyalty, revenge, friendship, and healing – particularly with regards to lead cop Nicolas Vargas – are played out on a world stage.

Q. There is a TV adaptation of your first novel, The Counterfeit Candidate , currently in the works. How does this make you feel, and would you recommend people read your novel before watching the show, or vice versa? Q. You are a big fan of thrillers. How do you think reading widely in this genre has benefitted your own writing?

They are the definitive due you will love to hate, and you’ll be rooting for their comeuppance while cheering on Vargas and Hembury every step of the way. They are, though, always one step behind and it will all come down to the wire in a breath-taking showdown pitting Franklin’s forces against the Israeli national intelligence agency, Mossad. The novel is set a decade on from the events of The Counterfeit Candidate, which saw Hitler’s grandson, John Franklin, exposed as a modern-day Nazi mastermind just before he reached his goal: the White House.

I also created a number of prominent scenes between the Fuhrer and the iconic couple who ruled Argentina, Juan and Eva Peron. If Hitler did settle in El Calafate, there is no question he would have been supported and protected by the Peron regime, who were openly pro-Nazi supporters The Führer’s Prophecy is the second part of The Reich Trilogy, following bestselling thriller The Counterfeit Candidate. With this explosive sequel, author Brian Klein has cemented his position as Britain’s most exciting thriller writer.New Relic uses this cookie to store a session identifier so that New Relic can monitor session counts for an application.

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. It’s well recorded that in July,1945, just three months after Hitler’s supposed death, Stalin met with Churchill and Roosevelt at the Potsdam Conference in Germany, where he cast doubt on the official story of the Fuhrer’s death. He astonished the two western leaders by claiming that Hitler had eluded his Red Army, escaped from Berlin and was hiding somewhere in Patagonia. The genie was well and truly out of the bottle and a new conspiracy theory was born. The Führer’s Prophecy is the hotly anticipated sequel to one of 2021’s bestselling thrillers, The Counterfeit Candidate.

The fact that this actually happened makes it all the more distressing and adds extra force to the diabolic nature of Hitler’s fictional descendant.

Senator John Franklin, hailed as the ‘Great Unifier’, secures the Republican Presidential nomination and seems destined for the Oval Office. Despite the sixty-seven year interval and a span of thirteen thousand miles, these events are indelibly linked.For Vargas, stopping Franklin is as much personal as professional. He is still reeling from the loss of his Jewish wife 13 years before, whose grandfather had been one of the hundreds of thousands of Jews forced to flee Nazi Germany. Q. When you have completed The Reich Trilogy, will you continue to write exclusively in the thriller genre, or are you tempted to try another genre? I named the farmhouse which became Hitler’s new base, ‘El Blondie,” as I liked the conceit that the name of the Fuhrer’s new home would be a permanent memorial to his beloved dog, who he had left behind in the bunker. A creature he loved far more than any human. As a student, I studied Hitler and the rise and fall of The Third Reich at Queen Mary College, where I completed a degree in History and Modern Politics. I’ve always had a gut feeling that Hitler wasn’t the kind of man to take his own life, but then again, there is a great deal of compelling evidence, and eye-witness testimony, to suggest he did. However, for the purposes of writing The Counterfeit Candidate, I went with my gut. I couldn’t help wondering, “What if….”
