Rating:  Summary: An elderly Nazi seeks revenge. Review: "The Last Nazi" features Melissa Gale, a beautiful and brainy lawyer and Nazi hunter. Gale is desperately trying to track down a villain named Adalwolf, who assisted the infamous Dr. Mengele in Auschwitz. Adalwolf is now a seventy-five year old man, but he has not slowed down either physically or mentally. The unrepentant Nazi is an expert in biology, genetics, and virology, and he hopes to use his formidable knowledge to create a virus that will destroy his enemies.The first half of "The Last Nazi" is intriguing, suspenseful, and full of surprises. Together with a SWAT team, Melissa closes in on a rooming house in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where Adalwolf supposedly lives. Will Melissa's desperate effort to capture Adalwolf finally succeed? Or has her cunning adversary once again outsmarted her? The beginning of the novel has thrills, chills, and many surprises. Unfortunately, the second half of the book goes downhill, as the author substitutes formulaic melodrama for genuine suspense. Stan Pottinger's many twists, turns, and complications dilute his story's effectiveness. If the author had expended more effort on humanizing his characters and on making his plot a bit more realistic, "The Last Nazi" would have had far greater impact.
Rating:  Summary: Fast Paced Thriller Review: Meliss Gale is a Nazi Hunter. The last Nazi who Gale is hunting is the mysterious and elusive Adalwolf. Adalwolf is rumored to be the foster son of The Third Reich's Dr. Josef Mengele, last seen polluting the waters of Chile with his dying breaths. Gale has come close to capturing Adalwolf on numerous occasions, and as THE LAST NAZI opens, she thinks she has him. Remember, however, this is the beginning of the book, not the end. Adalwolf and Gale have been doing a deadly dance for years, and Gale has thought she has had him on numerous occasions, only to have him slip from her grasp. Adalwolf, for his part, has decided that it will be only fitting to utilize Gale as his unwilling, unwitting instrument by which Hitler's goal of the total extermination of the Jewish race will be accomplished. Adalwolf's plan is horrifically ingenious, and has the added effect of raising a moral dilemma. By the time you finish the final page of THE LAST NAZI you will be mentally out of breath, yet wishing that this fine novel had another 300 pages to go. The result is a thriller that ratchets the suspense level up with each rapidly turning page, while simultaneously creating a heartwarming effect that provides an element of hope and beauty in the face of irrational hatred. Pottinger with THE LAST NAZI continues his rapid rise up the 'A' List of thriller writers with this unforgettable, "impossible to put down" novel.
Rating:  Summary: Don't Be The Last to Read This! Review: This is a sensational thriller which is even more terrifying when you realise the basic plot could be so easily developed one day by terrorists or other evil people in the real world. Adalwolf worked at Auschwitz, he was a brilliant young evil medical protégé experimenting on children and pregnant women who managed to escape when the Russians arrived. In 2002 he is at the top of the Justice department's Nazi hunt list and Melissa Gale is determined to capture him. She also teaches ethics to trainees and doesn't believe in torture or the death penalty no matter what the benefit to others. She soon realised that the chase has become deadly personal, and that she must stop him before he gets her and her unborn baby. He has developed a virus that only attacks Jewish genes and can spread throughout the entire world' population in 45 days. He needs a carrier and Melissa's unborn child will do just fine. This novel starts of extremely fast and to be honest the paces dies down for a while and a bit of editing may have improved the book in the middle parts, but once you get to the final third section the pace heightens to a spine chilling fast read, which you will not be able to put down until the final page.
