Description

How do you fight the enemy within, when you don’t know that the enemy exists?

This is the problem facing the USA in 1985 as a Nazi cell, dormant for decades, waiting patiently for its moment to strike, conspires to forge a new Fourth Reich out of the ashes of the old. Fifty years earlier, in 1935, alien technology is recovered from a crashed UFO in the Black Forest, and is developed by a team of German scientists, overseen by psychopathic Waffen-SS officer, Hauptsturmführer Gustav von Brandt. What evil plot does this Nazi cell intend to deploy? And what is the alien technology which will help them achieve their ambition?

This Science Fiction thriller is a rollercoaster ride of intrigue and deception involving Aliens, Gods, Dinosaurs, Nazis, the CIA and the Mafia. And in a highly original story spanning nearly three hundred million years that culminates in an explosive climax, who would believe that the key to the destiny of our planet would be in the hands of a painfully shy, socially awkward teenage boy? 

With a fast pace and a collection of narratives that ‘travel’ from one time to the next, this novel will be a compulsive read for anyone interested in Science Fiction and Spy thrillers.

Advance Praise

"A Gift from the Gods is Martin Gunn's second novel and it shows a major step forward in his writing. It is a well thought out plot which includes pre historic and distant future times all linked together with a spell binding story. I can thoroughly recommend this book as well as his first novel, The Fourth Wall Syndrome." 

"I can honestly say I have never read a book quite like this. I am currently training to be a War Historian and found this book a fascinating take. As i'm sure you can imagine with my chosen profession, i am normally quite harsh on Alternate History books, but I found this one fascinating and flawlessly researched. I have been reliably informed that there is a sequel in the offing, I can only hope that this is indeed true. An excellent book and one I am recommending to every one. Well done, Martin! Looking forward to many many more."
