Publishers Weekly described Strindberg’s Star as “an audacious adventure novel à la Jules Verne steeped in Norse mythology and Nazi esotericism.” We think that sounds perfect for fans of James Rollins\, Steve Berry\, and Boyd Morrison. Swedish journalist Jan Wallentin takes readers on an international trip through mythology as professor Don Titelman seeks to discover the mystery behind an ancient artifact discovered in a corpse’s possession.
