"Doctor Todt" is the first historical fiction novel in a series of 8, with the collective title After the Flood. "The Flood" is not a Noah's ark thing but the increasingly obvious fact that the human race is less and less capable to manage its habitat: Earth. As for a reversal, experts determined that the point of no return was passed in 1981 then, typically, classified. Few were prepared to listen anyway. The greatest enemy of man is man himself. I wrote about that in "The Spine of Western Culture" then, started on this epic account of capable and well-informed people who work on ultra-deep level, preparing to survive and be ready to resurface and rebuild the post-deluvian remains, in a way that makes a repetition of what caused the catastrophe impossible to repeat. The storyline stretches from the last fugitives leaving flaming Berlin in 1945 to survival stations orbiting somewhere in the northern hemisphere around 2050.

Slavery is back. America, 1962. Having lost a war, America finds itself under Nazi Germany and Japan occupation. A few Jews still live under assumed names. The 'I Ching' is prevalent in San Francisco. Science fiction meets serious ideas in this take on a possible alternate history.

One of the twentieth century's best theological ethicists, Heinz Eduard Tdt personally experienced the struggle of Nazi Germany that so shaped Bonhoeffer. Tdt said that the further he went, the closer he got to Bonhoeffer. In Authentic Faith he clarifies major dimensions of Bonhoeffer's ethics with precision and enables us to enter personally into the political, ecclesiastical, and family context in which Bonhoeffer wrote. Tdt first discusses Bonhoeffer's theology and ethics formed during his own tumultuous time and then focuses on how they can inform and influence contemporary history. Tdt especially concerns himself with the present tasks in theology and in the church, clearing a path for understanding our lives through theology's eyes and drawing us toward the ethical wisdom we need to navigate the ideological struggles of our own time. Authentic Faith shows an understanding of Bonhoeffer's spirit that makes this book a must for the shelves of any Bonhoeffer scholar and all students of social and theological ethics.

Based on declassified wartime reports, this in-depth dossier details the inner workings of the Organisation Todt which not only built the Autobahns, but also Germany's Siegfried Line and Atlantic Wall.

Albert Speer was one of the most brilliant and controversial men of the Twentieth Century. Although he was the Adolf Hitlers favourite for many years, Speer refused to share in his suicide and was condemned to twenty years in Spandau Prison for war crimes. His open confession of guilt at the Nuremberg Trials spared him the noose but, to this day, a question mark hangs over his head. What was the level of his involvement in the Holocaust? Was he a man of integrity caught up in a web of evil from which he couldnt escape - or was he just clever and convincing enough to have obscured the worst of his sins? No-one has ever argued convincingly one way or the other. Paula Astridges very personal - and exhaustively researched account - will both entertain and enable the reader to draw their own conclusions.
