Stoddard is def the most interesting of the WASP supremacist writers from that era. I remember his Islam book being surprisingly decent and his war time Nazi travels was quite insightful

I enjoyed the mountain climbing in 1925 historical fiction aspects but le evil Nazis nonsense strained my suspension of disbelief (Nazis were broke ass nobodies in 1925)
Also even though I’m not one to claim that Hitler was faultless or above criticism, to accuse him of taking part in gay pedo orgies is outlandish slander. It made me check out Simmons early life but found nothing definitive unfortunately.

Pretty fun if somewhat basic. What really sold me on it was Quinette's attitude while covering up the crime, the constant self doubt and looking over the shoulder, having to muster his courage for every step, having to constantly choose or switch between ironclad gambits with lots of moving pieces, or sloppy but expedient options. In those places where he moves from the former to the latter, he creates opportunities for him to be caught. It is really nice. I'm glad to know that he will be a recurring character moving forward.
