Tom Wilde Series 4 Books Collection Set By Rory Clements (Corpus, Nucleus, Nemesis, [Hardcover] Hitler's Secret)

Product Information

The plot, although initially could be seen as far fetched, actually felt so realistic that it made me wonder 'did Hitler have a child that no one in the general public ever found out about'? It also made me question the power dynamics at the top of the regime and piqued my curiosity about this period of History even more than it was already. With respect to the audiobook edition, actor Adam Sims has been the narrator for all of the books to date in the Tom Wilde series as well as many other titles across a variety of genres. He has a pleasant husky voice that held my attention throughout and brought life to the novel’s various characters. I didn’t realise that The English Fuhrer is the seventh instalment of Rory Clements’s Tom Wilde series of books. I hadn’t read the previous books but I don’t think it’s a barrier as this book stands alone.

In historical research, this is an exciting prospect. In real life, essential. People have often asked me what application studying history has in real life. It is this: critical evaluation. History is about people, human behaviour, and decision making. Studying history is about sources and argument and lies and truths and informed guesswork. And I use it everyday.

The book is to some degree split into two parts, however, the plotting and pace of the story is spot on. Meanwhile his new housekeeper seems to have secrets of her own and is behaving in a suspicious way.

Europe is in turmoil. The Nazis have marched into the Rhineland. In Russia, Stalin has unleashed his Great Terror. Spain has erupted in civil war.In Berlin, a young Englishwoman evades the Gestapo to deliver vital papers to a Jewish scientist. Within weeks, she is found dead, a silver syringe clutched in her fingers. I was missing the involvement of Tom’s partner, Lydia, up to this point but was pleased to see her play more of a role as the book builds to its nail-biting climax. And it wouldn’t be a Tom Wilde book without an appearance by his beloved Rudge Special motorcycle.Every book in the Tom Wilde series works as a standalone story, but the lives of the different characters evolve from one novel to the other. I struggled with Corpus and eventual

Rory Clements manages to produce a masterpiece in a suspenseful, tension filled thriller, combined with the plenty of research to make this a highly compelling read a wonderful mix of fact and fiction. Though in the past I haven't read many spy novels, this book has certainly set an incredibly high bar for what I would expect and want from the in the future going forward. Clements ability to cause the reader to feel the same tension that Wilde must be feeling is fantastic, you're constantly on the edge of your seat, not wanting to put the book down just so you can see what is going to happen next. Enough, if I review any further it will spoil this superb story and I really do honestly recommend you read this book but I would add that you will enjoy and benefit if you have read the previous books in the Tom Wilde series. The book takes us through a number of terrifying scenarios. It’s enough to make anyone applaud the bravery of those who risk their life for such situations, even if we’re also shaking our heads in sorrow at the brutality and callousness shown by some inherently selfish characters.The truth is I was bored, and struggled to read for more than twenty minutes without losing concentration, and I don't know why. It is slow-building drama, perhaps I found it a little too dawdling and quaint. Corpus is quite rich in history and detail within the plot, so there are many threads to follow. The author has done a great job of weaving it together cohesively and the end result is a highly intriguing read. This book gives you a great insight to what really could have happened after the Second World War. Expertly researched the story takes on vivid reality and we can only be thankful that there is a fictional element to this book as after listening to the closing credits we realise just how much this book is based on fact.
