Description
Thus Ira Levin opens one of the strangest and most masterful novels of his career. Why has Mengele marked a number of harmless aging men for murder? What is the hidden link that binds them? What interest can they possibly hold for their killers: six former SS men dispatched from South America by the most wanted Nazi still alive, the notorious "Angel of Death"? One man alone must answer these questions and stop the killings--Lieberman, himself aging and thought by some to be losing his grip on reality.
At the heart of The Boys from Brazil lies a frightening contemporary nightmare, chilling and all too possible.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Ira Levin's most inventive plot since Rosemary's Baby. Extremely clever, consisting of familiar Levin themes--biological engineering, the rebirth of the devil, human automation."
-- "New York Times""A novel by Ira Levin is like a bag of popcorn: there's no way to stop once you've started. An irresistible novel, with a science fiction twist."
-- "Newsweek""What scares today is Levin's premise based on biological engineering: in the 1970s, although scientifically possible, Mengele's plan belonged firmly in the realm of fiction; now it's not nearly so far-fetched."
-- "The Guardian (London)""Horribly credible, chilling, disturbing...A stunner."
-- "Sunday Express (London)""One of the greatest (if not the greatest) thrillers of all time...An astonishing marvel, a herculean feat of fictional storytelling."
-- "Forbes""[Ira Levin] is the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel."
-- "Stephen King"
