EastRush is an alternate history novel about aspects of the Holocaust that remain hidden and unexplored.
The book takes its name from a naturally occurring euphoric high.
A rich brew of newfound power and sexual arousal, frequently experienced by ‘ordinary’ German women.
The leading character, Sabine Wohlauf, experiences the rausch during spree killings.
Starting off as a none-the-wiser secretary for a Nazi welfare charity, she ends up playing God in the regime’s newly conquered territories in Ukraine and Eastern Poland.
What if the effects of this obscure but terrifying condition could be reproduced in soldiers?
Would this ease the psychological pain of shooting women and children day after day, and accelerate the genocide process?
EastRush is comprehensively researched and based on true events.
It lays the groundwork for the sequel Kontrolle, a book about the CIA’s biggest and most bizarre scientific programme, which grew out of the Nazi’s experiments.
The overall story is panoramic, spanning half a millennium between the conquistadors and the Cold War.
A narrative which is watermarked with secret Shoah symbolism, of the kind used by Stanley Kubrick in films like The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut, but based on real-life events.
