Summary: Pure Evil Reads So Well....
Review: The fascination with the Third Reich and the amazingly evil figures that represented it can never really die. Novelists, especially, have had a field day continuing the story of the Nazi regime into the post war world, starting, most famously, with The Odessa File, which gave the world a semi realistic look at the Nazi underground. Stan Pottinger's newest novel does a good job at reintroducing the fiction readers of the world to the last Nazi's, the old men who made it out and have escaped justice for all these years. Except this time, interestingly enough, the Last Nazi is hardly an old man watching his illicit Swiss bank account grow. No, the enemy of this book is much more dangerous, horrifyingly current in his methods and genocidal in his intentions. The Last Nazi centers around Melissa Gale, one of the US Justice Departments Nazi hunters. She has a family connection to the Holocaust, and her close family friend is a famed survivor. Her job is relatively uneventful, as she puts away the last of the aging concentration camp guards. Middle-aged, she is struggling to become pregnant, a highly sophisticated process that requires precise scientific engineering. Her career, however, is haunted by the illusive Adalwolf, the teenage psychopathic prodigy of the Angel of Death himself, Dr. Josef Mengele. The hunt has gone on for decades, but the ghost of the Auschwitz lab remains on the loose, and, to the horror of all the hunters, he is killing again. Even more frightening is his method, bio engineered viruses. With the genie out of the bottle, the hunt intensifies, just as Adalwolf comes closer to his ultimate vision. Gale continues the search, but she is struck down by numerous personal situations. The star of this book by far is Adalwolf himself. I really liked how Pottinger portrayed him, as just an insidiously evil force of nature. I felt the echoes of a really dedicated Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychopath fueled with an intense hatred and an unnaturally strong loyalty to his fuehrer. The mid book twist that Pottinger adds to the mystery of Adalwolf's true identity. The storyline is a rapid mystery, and the dedicated reader can really fly through it. I found Gale a very intriguing hero also, her inner flaws do not overshadow her affable personality and strength. Besides the two main characters and the flow of the story, I felt the Last Nazi falls a little short of being a truly great novel. One problem is that the book is simply too short, we never get a real feel for any of the supporting cast, and the origins of Adalwolf are unfortunately not really answered sufficiently. The biggest problem I had with the book was the ending scene, which rang kind of hollow compared to the book as a whole. Still, The Last Nazi is some really intense entertainment.

Summary: Interesting plot, boring characters, blah.
Review: The plot is quite intriguing, and kept me reading. But a good thriller has more than a good plot. It has interesting characters and great writing. This was just plot. The characters were not fleshed out. The writing was bland with no humor, no spark. A great thriller or mystery is more than plot. It teaches you something about a place, profession, time period... This author had lots of opportunity to give details about fertility treatments, about nazi hunting, about genetic engineering, about viruses, about the genetic makeup (homegeneity) of the Jewish people, about the nazi medical "experiments" in concentration camp. But all these topics were treated in a superficial way. Overall a disappointing read.

Summary: Don't Be The Last to Read This!
Review: This is a sensational thriller which is even more terrifying when you realise the basic plot could be so easily developed one day by terrorists or other evil people in the real world. Adalwolf worked at Auschwitz, he was a brilliant young evil medical protégé experimenting on children and pregnant women who managed to escape when the Russians arrived. In 2002 he is at the top of the Justice department's Nazi hunt list and Melissa Gale is determined to capture him. She also teaches ethics to trainees and doesn't believe in torture or the death penalty no matter what the benefit to others. She soon realised that the chase has become deadly personal, and that she must stop him before he gets her and her unborn baby. He has developed a virus that only attacks Jewish genes and can spread throughout the entire world' population in 45 days. He needs a carrier and Melissa's unborn child will do just fine. This novel starts of extremely fast and to be honest the paces dies down for a while and a bit of editing may have improved the book in the middle parts, but once you get to the final third section the pace heightens to a spine chilling fast read, which you will not be able to put down until the final page.

Summary: Plausible and fresh idea on subject , that is timeless.
Review: This micro-terror tale, possible, but hopefully never brought to fruition, applies as well to modern-day times we live in now, should such a scenerio ever be accomplished in its basic form. Characters were realistic, and action, suspensful. Overall, a good read, and recommended for factual content and entertainment.

Summary: I will never read this Author again!!!
Review: This would have been a good story if someone else had written it. I enjoyed Pottinger's first book, The Fourth Procedure. I did not like his second book, A Slow Burn, as much. His third book, The Last Nazi, I did not like at all. It seems that the Author is trying to cover popular issues and is running out of ideas. I struggled to finish it so that I could write this review. The general story line was sufficient, but that is all. Everything else just happens to fit together in a convenient manner. After reading this book, I now question if I really read and enjoyed the first book. It seems to me that he is a one hit wonder!

Summary: The thriller bar is raised to unbelievable heights.
Review: Though he is a foster son, sixteen years old Adalwolf behaves like a chip off the old block, emulating the worst traits of his mentor research scientist Dr. Josef Mengele. He calms down the young victims undergoing inhuman experiments. When the Nazis lose, everyone assumes that Adalwolf died in the final days. Almost six decades later, agents of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations accompany a SWAT team trying to capture the evil but brilliant Adalwolf. Among the squad of "Nazi Hunters is attorney Melissa Gale, who has hunted the butcher for several years while having trying to have a baby with her journalist husband. However, she is soon going to learn how diabolical her foe is as he has developed a virus that will wipe out the entire global Jewish population with Melissa as his carrier. This is a taut thriller that may turn out to be the year's best with its brilliantly developed story line that cleverly spins into an incredible moral dilemma. From the beginning to the end Adalwolf proves to be one of the more infamous villains in a long time. His final solution is frightening yet seems plausible because the creation of designer viruses is a potential by-product of the genome mapping. Fans who read THE LAST NAZI will not make this the last Stanley Pottinger novel they ever read as he raises the thriller bar to unbelievable heights. Harriet Klausner
