The Last Viking

About the Book

An unexpected visit from their Jewish banker at the beginning of World War II alerts Wilhelm and Kristin to the horrors of the holocaust. Odin had recently appeared to Kristin, portending an upheaval in their lives; they realized this must be their next adventure. Slipping into Nazi Germany through Morocco, they forged identities that gave them access to the most powerful men in the Third Reich. They soon realized that preventing this madman from eradicating those deemed unworthy to populate the Reich was a daunting task even for Wilhelm, Th e Last Viking, and Kristin, his Valkyrie companion.

As they edged ever closer to Hitler they encountered some of the most fascinating people of the twentieth century, including Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels, Dr. Josef Mengele, Claus von Stauff enberg, and Hitler’s filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. Along the way they would meet the king of the Roma and befriend numerous innocent Germans caught up in this the last Great War.

They eventually succeed in changing the course of history, but not without great cost. This book also explains why the Russians continued to attempt to authenticate the remains of Hitler well into the 1970’s, never believing that he died in the Führerbunker.
