Black Sun Reich Book Review
Black
Sun Reich: Part One of three in The Spear of Destiny, the first novel in a new
steampunk, horror, alternate history, action-adventure series set in a 1920s
where the Nazi’s have begun their subjugation of the world using the occult,
advanced science, and a holy relic with awesome powers.
And
don’t miss the other parts of this serialized novel - Part Two: Death’s Head
Legion and Part Three: Shadows Will Fall.
Trey
Garrison recaptures the unapologetic adventure, wonder and excitement of the
classic pulp fiction of the 1930s and 1940s, blending elements of steampunk
with deeply-researched historical fiction and a good dose of humor. The novel
also explores major philosophical and moral issues relevant to our contemporary
world: the trade-off between security and liberty, the morality of pre-emptive
war, and what fundamentally separates good from evil.
The
North American continent is made up of several rival nations, and a Cold War is
building between them. The Nazis rose to power a decade earlier. People travel
by airship and powerful organizations calculate with Babbage’s Difference
Engine. The Nazis have hatched a plot to raise a legion of undead soldiers.
Enter
Sean Fox Rucker, Jesus D’Anconia Lago, two Great War veterans and freelance
pilots who are pulled into the quest. They are joined by a brash Greek
merchant, a brilliant Jewish cowboy, and the woman who once broke Rucker’s
heart. This ragtag band of reluctant, bickering, swashbuckling heroes soon is
locked in a globe-spanning race against Nazi occultists, clockwork assassins,
and a darkly charismatic commando. In a world where science and the
supernatural co-exist, and the monsters of legend are as real necromancers who
summon them from dark realms, our heroes alone stand before the rising
darkness. But all their efforts may not be enough.
My Review
I received a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest
review. This was an amazing steampunk
novel. I love books like this, ones that
have people hunting for some powerful ancient artifact. Yes, this is like reading an Indiana Jones
adventure mixed with a bit of horror. It
was a fun novel for me, I honestly couldn’t put it down down and it’s also a
quick read. If you like adventure, science
fiction, or a mix of both genres, this is the book for you. I can’t wait for book two to see what happens
next!
