Description
Author
Little Anton is a gripping historical novel series that discloses covert technological inventions and the prominent leaders who exploited them during the turbulent years leading up to WWII and the Battle of Norway in 1940. Part love story and part dark satire the book masterfully interweaves a fictional adventure within factual reportage revealing in greater detail why Adolf Hitler tasked his personal hero Professor Ferdinand Porsche and his brilliant engineering mind to build the worlds fastest almost invincible racecars and potent military machines. The book tracks the life of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche while Hitler rises to power. Porsche and his family are pacifists but like many industrialist families they get caught up in Germanys economic miracle during the Great Depression and its aftermath. With Hitlers patronage Porsche becomes Germanys heralded Reich Designer creating the Volkswagen Beetle and Auto Unions futuristic Grand Prix racing cars which later evolved into the Audi car brand after WWII. Along with Dr. Porsche the central characters are the fictional Lady Beatrice Sunderland (Bea) an irreverent naughty British aristocrat and Lutz Becker a dashing young Bavarian racecar driver from quite humble origins. These two madcap star-crossed opposites intertwine when WWII breaks out the attraction as inevitable as the fearsome conflict itself. Lady Bea a cynical freewheeling cold-hearted daredevil pilot who emulates feminist aviatrices Amelia Earhart Amy Johnson and Beryl Markham is the daughter of Lord Briggs Sunderland a tortured veteran of The Great War and close friend and confidant of Winston Churchill Beas maternal granduncle. Bea undergoes harsh SIS training to become a British spy and is sent to Germany to gain intelligence on clandestine German rearmament. Lutz Becker a young member of the National Socialist Motorcorps (NSKK) motorcycle division gains Porsches patronage and becomes a pro auto racer in international Grand Prix competitions Hitler and Goebbels prized propaganda coup. The brazen adventures of Lady Bea and Lutz take readers through the grim scope of early wartime destruction the insanity of Himmlers occult-driven SS and the secret plotting for material gain by corporate and political leaders around the world. The Little Anton series will continue with the sequel entitled Lion Tiger Bear. This mystery thriller is set amid the Desert War of 1942-3 where the hunt is on for a secret Nazi SS mining operation and aircraft base in Iraq directly linked to Germanys multiple atomic bomb programs.
