Chasing the Devil
A thriller about stopping a terrorist plot to resurrect Hitler using time travel and cloning.
The plot centers on a conspiracy to bring back evil forces by combining Nazi genetics with advanced cloning technology. Professor Marisa Williams provides the scientific key, while detective John Katz serves as the primary agent of resistance. The National Security Agency coordinates efforts across two distinct timelines. Agents target a facility in Afghanistan, while Katz travels to the past. The narrative emphasizes the intersection of real historical figures like Hitler with fictional supernatural consequences. James uses pre-war German history as the foundation for this speculative scenario. The story explores how individual actions in the past can alter present-day realities involving terrorism and occult threats.
The book is set in 2008, published by Daniel Nugent. It references pre-World War II German history and the beer hall putsch. The story involves locations like Afghanistan and New York City, blending contemporary security concerns with historical events from the early twentieth century.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
James constructs a tense narrative that effectively blends historical fiction with supernatural conspiracy theories. The integration of pre-war German history creates a plausible foundation for the speculative cloning plot, enhancing the story's credibility. The dual timeline between modern Afghanistan and past Germany maintains momentum, though the theological horror elements sometimes feel secondary to the thriller mechanics. This work best suits readers who appreciate alternate history and covert government operations over traditional ghost stories. It avoids pure historical non-fiction pitfalls by embracing its speculative nature fully. While the premise is bold, the execution relies heavily on the tension between scientific possibility and historical intervention rather than atmospheric dread.
