From the World War II concentration camp in Auschwitz to the government brokers in Washington and state elections in Denver, Colorado, Aleph Bet Conspiracy by Norman Shabel hurtles to a dramatic conclusion. Covering the years from 1940 to 1970, the Nazi Party has relocated to the United States. Under the name of Thor, those who escaped retribution for war crimes are intent on resurrecting Hitler’s vision of a new super race. Under the Lebensborn experiment, a boy is chosen and groomed to be the new Führer. Thor’s ultimate goal? To resurrect Hitler’s monstrous vision of creating a nation of blond-haired, blue-eyed superhumans, with an American president as their handpicked Führer. On the other side, the underground organization, the Aleph Bet, is determined to thwart their plans. From the horrors of Auschwitz to the high-stakes drama in the courtrooms of New York and Denver, the fight continues between the two parties, but only one can win.

Norman Shabel has written a breathtaking novel in Aleph Bet Conspiracy. I hope many people read this book. They may possibly see it as just another conspiracy crime thriller with an amazing and riveting court case thrown in. But, this novel has underlying messages that should alarm us all. As I turned the pages, shivers ran down my spine with comments such as, "Who can afford ethics these days?" Like a science fiction scenario, we think it might never happen, but is it not happening right now in America? You must judge that for yourself. Apart from messages, subliminal or otherwise, I really appreciated the author’s descriptions of people, what they looked like, and what they wore. I could picture them and among the day-to-day conversations and the weaving of lies and conspiracies, there were some literary gems. This book is beautifully written, a real page-turner, and I would love to give it 6 stars if I could. Norman Shabel is an excellent writer.

Aleph Bet Conspiracy by Norman Shabel is a gripping mystery set twenty years after World War II, where a neo-fascist group, Thor, threatens to spread Nazism on American soil. Rabbi Ben Zvi Kantorwicz, a Holocaust survivor, is on trial for murder after killing a neo-fascist who murdered an elderly rabbi. Meanwhile, his underground group, Aleph Bet, works to stop Thor's insidious plan to resurrect Hitler's vision of a fascist empire in America. As the political stakes escalate, this suspenseful narrative unfolds across New York courtrooms and high-powered political schemes in Denver. Shabel skillfully blends post-World War II history with a contemporary thriller, highlighting the lingering dangers of fascism in modern settings in a work that is very timely and appropriate for reading in the current climate.

The moral complexity of Rabbi Kantorwicz's character, battling personal trauma and seeking justice, gives a new perspective to a typical courtroom drama by adding so much cultural and personal dramatic richness. I was particularly impressed by the fast-paced narrative, with constant twists and high stakes, which kept me deeply engaged, blending historical realities with a high-concept conspiracy. Norman Shabel explores the consequences of unchecked hate and ideology, resonating with timely discussions on fascism, democracy, and civil liberties. The pace is smooth and the themes and moral messages are present, but not all-consuming over the narrative. The tense historical integration brings a lot of naturalistic drama to the fore, and these thought-provoking themes create a compelling and relevant read that goes way beyond typical historical thrillers to deliver something truly special. Overall, I highly recommend Aleph Bet Conspiracy to readers who enjoy historically grounded thrillers that tackle complex moral issues and offer insight into the ongoing struggle against extremist ideologies.
