Fiction. Thriller. HTML:The Fourth Reich is waiting to arise—and the only man who can stop it is about to sign its birth certificate. In 1945 the children of the Third Reich were secretly hidden all over the world, to be concealed until they came of age in the 1970s, at which point $780 million would be waiting in a Swiss bank. But all of these elaborate plans need an unsuspecting outsider to set them in motion: Noel Holcroft, the American son of a high-ranking Nazi officer. He has just been shown an incredible document known as the Holcroft Covenant. If he signs, he will inadvertently deal a serious blow to an already fragile world—and authorize his own death warrant.

I should have read the cover to fully understand what this book was about. I think it would have helped me during the reading process. There were so many characters, so many secret operatives that were pretending to be on different sides, and so many different German secret societies that it was difficult to keep the plot and it's many characters/motives straight. It wasn't until 3/4 of the way through the book that I decided to read through the inside flap to see what the summary was - and while it gave pretty much the entire plot away, it made everything so much more clear! If a book depends upon it's summary that much - and especially a thriller/suspense book nonetheless - then it's probably not the book for me. ( )

A book that has cost me a lot of headaches. Conspiracy theories after conspiracies, old plans for the future that need to become reality. Constructed ingeniously 30 years ago and now told. Not an easy book, but interesting. ( )

Nazi loot, crosses, double crosses, hidden armies, secret organizations, and a plan to raise the Fourth Reich by promoting the children of former Nazi leaders. ( )
