A VILLAIN’S REQUEST
In 1946, soon-to-be-executed Nazi General Hermann Goering asks young Soul Identity overseer Archibald Morgan to take his looted gold and deposit it in a soul line collection, there to await his soul’s rebirth.
A GRIM RESISTANCE
Flora, a seventeen-year-old Gypsy girl whose father died in the Dachau concentration camp, is sure that Goering stole the gold. She struggles to persuade Morgan to reject the Nazi’s deposit, but Morgan prevails.
A MYSTERIOUS THEFT
Sixty-four years have passed. A repentant Morgan opens Goering’s collection and discovers the gold is gone. In its place lies a cryptic journal. Morgan asks security expert Scott Waverly to find the thief and recover the gold.
A THRILLING ADVENTURE
Scott must race through Europe to uncover the elusive secrets of what really happened in Nuremberg… secrets that threaten to reopen old wounds, settle old scores, and lead to the gold’s—and his own soul’s—recovery.
Dennis Batchelder's SOUL INTENT, the sequel to SOUL IDENTITY, is an entertaining read, and I do recommend it. This comes as no surprise, as I breezed through SOUL IDENTITY very quickly. As many others have said, Mr. Batchelder is a gifted story teller.
The difference between the two books for me is that SOUL IDENTITY grabbed me right away, whereas it took a little getting used to the back and forth between a 1946 flashback, or a reference to SOUL IDENTITY and the present day story in the beginning of SOUL INTENT. Don't let that stop you. Very quickly, I found myself picking the book up during the day to read just one more chapter, especially as I neared the exciting conclusion.
Well done, Mr. Batchelder - looking forward to the next book!
