Munich, 1939
Ο Adolf Hitler avoids a bombing attempt thanks to the early warning of Swiss astrologer Karl Ernst Kraft. Impressed by the event, the dictator decides to utilize the astrologer's skills in military operations – a development that propels the latter, as a rising star, into the elite of the Third Reich and his initiation into the Nazi Thule Order.
In an attempt to anticipate the Führer's astrology-influenced strategy, London orders MI5 to recruit wily convict and double agent Eddie Chapman to infiltrate Thule's hideouts and intercept Hitler's horoscope from Karl Ernst Kraft.
The paths of the two men will collide in the center of a storm of historical developments and will cross with those of fateful figures of the time, such as the infamous magician Aleister Crowley, Hitler's secret deputy Rudolf Hess, the father of modern geopolitical thought Karl Haushofer and the pioneer of aerospace and later father of the NASA space program Wernher von Braun.
Skilfully weaving between fiction and historical evidence, Hitler's Astrologer is a noir metaphysical espionage thriller that reveals how the influence of the occult and secret societies have been unseen but decisive forces in the global conflict that has marked the twentieth century. A period novel full of mystery and action!
