Negative Positive
Title: Unoriginal and unexciting.
Review: Glenn Meade has done an incredible job of making an attempt to resurrect the Third Reich into a boring, run-of-the-mill thriller. Most of the novel tracks the protagonists, a half-Jewish British agent working for the EU's security apparatus and a Paraguayan police detective, as they work along a threadbare string of clues that link a brutal murder in Paraguay to a neo-Nazi coup d'etat in Germany. A few exciting moments punctuate this Boys From Brazil knockoff, but with characterization that makes Ian Fleming look like James Joyce, it wasn't enough to sustain my interest.In an afterword, Mr. Meade states that some details of his plot (not to give anything away) are grounded in fact. I'm not sure if he's trying to be cute or if he's serious.
