Everyone who liked the "Turner Diaries", "Hunter", and "White Power" must read this amazing book. The plot Mr. Calverhall thought of for "Serpent's Walk" is INCREADIBLE. I simply could not put this book down once I started reading it.

It would be a shame if you were too scared to read it. It really is not that extreme. Given our exposure to America's television and "culture", "Serpent's Walk" will seem controversially mild. But this is all beside the point. I recommend this book because it is so good,so gripping. I just can't adequately describe what an emotional journey it is.

This book was a great action packed novel with none of the ridiclous "political correctness" so prevelent in today's mainstream books. If you have a interest in wwII history or a James Bond type novel with a racialist slant THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! 88/14

As sci-fi action/thrillers go, this book is quite well written. As Nazi Propaganda, it is actually very poorly written. The majority of people that will read this book will already agree with the author's Nazi philosophies. But the arguments for believing in Nazi propaganda are quite weak.

The main character is hired by the SS as a mercenary, and without revealing any plotlines, he is completely a-political, and in fact has an Indian girlfriend. Despite his stronger arguments AGAINST Nazism and racism, he is eventually converted to the Nazi party line with arguments as weak as "The Holocaust was a hoax because we say so."

While this was an entertaining read, it will not convert anyone to the Nazi Party who isn't already 3/4 of the way there.

This was the book I was waiting for. It has it alright, futuristic weapons, modernistic computer systems that can really do some interesting maneuvering. There is a plot that's fairly realistic in this futuristic war scenario. The dialogue is fantastic too. One of my favorite books.

The book starts in the middle of a mission led by the mercenary Alan Lessing. As the story unfolds, he gets involved with "The Party", AKA the Nazi organisation, doing their dirty work. After a world crisis The Party grabs power and start practicing their race - separation policies. Lessing is turned from a non - political mercenary with an Indian girlfriend to a devoted nazi.

The problem with this book is the long passages of pure nazi - propaganda. Agree or not, it shouldn't be necessary to have one of the characters explain the whole ideology every time something controversial happens. Calverhall also fails to explain how the Nazis can conquer a world in crisis; it just doesn't seem feasible.

Nevertheless, as an action/thriller book it makes a decent read. That is, if you can disregard the ideology. Politically correct it ain't!

Serpent's Walk is a book about the near future in which the Third Reich did not die in 1945, but went underground and joined the business world. The main character, a middle-aged mercenary, slowly becomes part of the "Party of Humankind", the political front group for the National Socialists. As the book progresses, the Party uses its influence to achieve its goal of racial seperation around the world. All in all, a very interesting book for anyone interested in fictional warfare and revolution.

To some, the story of a Nazi takeover of the U.S. in the 21st century ("Hitler's warrior elite...went underground...building their economic muscle...buying into the opinion-forming media"), following a nation-wide bioterror attack & martial law, MIGHT seem laughable. Perhaps.

But don't be too quick to dismiss "Serpent's Walk" as a conceptually ludicrous white supremist/neo-Nazi ... dream, especially when you consider increasing German corporate control of US publishing, record labels & other "opinion forming media" outlets via the Bertelsmann Company (founded by SS officer Heinrich Mohn)...or the anthrax attacks (which the FBI suspects were domestic in origin) on Democratic senators & certain media outlets following 9/11...or the fact that W's great-grandfather George Herbert Walker & *his* son-in-law Prescott Bush, Sr. were Hitler's earliest financial backers...or John Ashcroft's links to right wing ultra-conservative white-supremist groups, like the neo-Confederate movement...

Interesting, no?

Contrast "Serpent's Walk" with "Martin Bormann: Nazi In Exile" by Paul Manning, "The Secret War Against the Jews" by John Loftis & Mark Aarons, "Dreamer of the Day: Francis Parker Yockey & the Postwar Fascist International" by Kevin Coogan, "Global Dreams: Imperial Corporations in the New World Order" by Richard J. Barnett, etc.

All considered, "Serpent's Walk" begins to sound less...fantasy & more like...a blueprint?...& as such essential reading for politically & socially active Americans.

What might have happened, had " Werewolf ", been a Reality, instead of being disbanded, and then folded into, the CIA, at wars' end. A great read, from a SS, point of view.

Calverhall is one of the most exciting authors I've read in quite some time, I highly recomment this book to anyone with an interest in politics and thrillers.
