Michael Slade KAMIKAZE
Penguin Canada $24 CDN trade paperback

Hiroshima survivor Genjo Tokuda, head of the Yakuza crime syndicate, is lured to Vancouver for a convention. The keynote speaker will be one of the crewman from the Enola Gay. Tokuda plans first to kill the crewman's family, then he'll kill the American airman in a fittingly gruesome way. That crewman is the grandfather of Corporal Jackie Hett of the RCMP's Special X squad.

Michael Slade SWASTIKA
Penguin Canada $10.99 CDN mass market paperback

In the closing days of World War II, Hitler summons SS General Ernest Streicher to his Berlin bunker to discuss the Third Reich's only hope to win the war - the Wonder Weapons controlled by Himmler's dreaded SS. When an overnight raid by the Aliies forces Streicher to abandon his factory assembling V-2 rockets, it sets in motion a monstrous conspiracy that still lies hidden today.

In present-day Vancouver, the RCMP's Special X squad is on the hunt for a pair of Nazi-inspired killers. A Nazi swastika is carved into each victim's forehead. When Special X turns to the FBI for links to the swastika signature in the United States, the black world of the Pentagon picks up the cllue and ties it to the long-kept secret of what crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.

Moving between wartime Germany and the manhunt in Vancouver, Swastika revolves around a deadly four-sided cat and mouse game embroiling the Mounties, Pentagon hit men, and the Nazi psychopaths.
