RASPUTIN’S NEPHEW
A New Age Thriller
Marc J. Seifer
New Novel Focuses on Premonitions and Terrorism in Near Future
Rasputin’s Nephew takes the reader into the not-so-distant future, where psychotronic terrorism threatens the nation and premonition is reality. Rudy Styne is a reporter for the posh 5th Avenue publication Modern Times Magazine, who wakes one morning from a strange, foreboding dream. Later in the day, the dream comes true, and Rudy is left bewildered. He decides to get to the bottom of these premonitions by doing an article for the magazine on the subject. He travels to Bhutan to meet with an avatar and then interviews Abdullah Manu, a renowned Egyptian superpyschic who can move objects with his mind and read people's thoughts. Along the way, Rudy uncovers a diabolical plot to murder neuroscientists and topple the West with an army of cybernetic soldiers.
At an international symposium on psychotronics in Italy, Rudy and his girlfriend, Chessie Barnsworth, meet the amiable neurophysicist Dr. Imo Bern. Rudy and Chessie are shocked to learn that the young doctor is an associate of notorious ex-KGB agent Georgi Boshtov, who they suspect is in charge of the brutal crusade to destroy the West.
It is a race against time and a test of minds as Rudy dashes to stop Boshtov from destroying the western world, but Rudy tumbles deep into trouble when he learns to his horror that he has become their next target.

  PRAISE FOR MARC SEIFER’S BOOKS

 

DOPPELGÄNGER & crystal night

 

Dr. Seifer’s novels DOPPELGÄNGER & CRYSTAL NIGHT contained some fascinating and well-researched details about World Wars I & II that added richness to the narrative. He displays admirable ambition and he crosses genres ably in his quest to tell a large-scale story in the second two novels of his QUADRILOGY. Using an impressive amount of research, the author paints a wide panorama which includes an inside look at Nazi Germany as a Jewish family struggles to maintain their small prestigious airline in an anti-Semitic environment. But these two books are not just rooted in the past. There is also a modern story, a search by the protagonist, news reporter Rudy Styne, to uncover a master hacker who is attempting to take over the internet as he is also moved to discover who is German double is and who his biological parents really are. Yes, there are a number of diverse paths in this complex tale, but Seifer deftly brings all threads together in a satisfying way that enriches, because the reader, not only gets to learn a lot about real history, namely how both world wars were conducted from the German perspective, but also experiences the complex emotional strain of a family doing their best to maintain their assets and survive in a hostile environment. Given the novel’s breadth, the pace is quick, particularly considering the myriad topics covered and the large cast of characters. Overall, this is an imaginative, worthy and ambitious work.

Compilation of comments from New York City Editors.

 

rasputin’s nephew

 

An espionage thriller, (a la Tom Clancy)…. You write with great intelligence and authority.    Nicolette Phillips, New Vision.

 

This is a terrifically original book, with elements of satire as well.

 Dr. Stanley Krippner, author of Song of the Siren

 

As one who believes that good science fiction writers are the precursors of things to come, your novel's early pages are causing me the first symptoms of Future Shock…Your writing about the psychic world seems so precise that it seems more real time than a work of fiction. Can I assume you are writing fiction or are your fictionalizing real historical events?   Al Perry

 

Like a journey through the Major Arcana [of the Tarot], Rasputin’s Nephew takes the reader into the bizarre and mind-boggling world of the paranormal. I enjoyed Marc Seifer’s book thoroughly.

 Uri Geller, Paranormalist Extraordinaire

 

DOPPELGÄNGER

 

In Doppelgänger, Marc Seifer runs a story of the 20th century through German eyes together with a contemporary U.S. murder mystery set in the cyber-world. He masterfully ties the two stories together through Abe Maxwell (b. 1906) who is about 98 years old in the contemporary story. Seifer tied Abe to both Rudy Styne, the hero, from the U.S. to Rolf Linzman, Rudy’s sometimes protagonist, of Germany.

crystal night

 

I had to tell you how much I am enthralled with Crystal Night! You are an incredible chronicler your knowledge is vast! You have woven such minute detail into the tapestry or rather web of the novel. It lives for me, that is the [Germany] and times I remember.

I rush through supper to get comfortable on the sofa with The Book. I just can’t put it down.

Gloria McMurrough, Admissions Office, Roger Williams University

 

The overall presentation of the trials that faced a Jewish-German family, during the rise of Anti-Semitism after World War I, is stirring on how the triumph of faith and spirit, can overcome the suffering of a strong, resilient people during one of the darkest periods in modern history.

 Edith Moraglia

 

FRAMED! Murder, Corruption &

a Death Sentence in Florida

A story that must be told!

Robert Leuci, “Prince of the City”

 

A fascinating and exceptionally documented case study that reads like a best-seller.

 Midwest Book Review

 

Amazingly readable book - a true page-turner that had my complete attention from the first page to the last!

Wizard: The Life & Times of Nikola Tesla

Biography of a genius

 

Seifer’s vivid, revelatory, exhaustively researched biography rescues pioneer inventor Nikola Tesla from cult status and restores him to his rightful place as a principal architect of the modern age.... Seifer provides the fullest account yet of Tesla as an entrepreneur, experimental physicist and inventor.

Boxed & Starred, Publisher’s Weekly

 

Seifer’s biography rescues [Tesla] from oblivion, bringing back to life the amazingly creative intellect that gave us fluorescent lighting, wireless communication, cheap electrical power and the remote control. But Seifer also resurrects the wounded, self-destructive personality who never recovered from the loss of a favored older brother and who spiraled into weird obsessions, mental collapse and poverty as he watched other men use his inventions to win fame and riches. Seifer does an admirable job of explaining his subject’s technical feats and analyzing his psychological idiosyncrasies. Tinged with pathos, this meticulously researched biography deserves attention from all who would understand the human tragedies played out in the shadows of our neon culture.

 

Bryce Christianson, Booklist

 

Marc Seifer is an excellent writer and scholar, who has produced a wonderfully readable and illuminating biography of one of the most intriguing men of this century.... mak[ing] us understand not only the man, but also the times in which he lived…. [a] masterpiece.

 

Nelson DeMille, New York Times best-selling author

 

 Seifer paints a picture of Tesla that anyone familiar with the life of someone such as Orson Welles will recognize. Here was a man who peaked early, traveled in famous company.... and started believing his own press hype. That made him spend the rest of his life trying to score another universe-changing coup..... Wizard does a pretty good job of placing Tesla within the firmament of inventors, thinkers and futurists. With Seifer’s scholarship to build on, anyone reconstructing those dizzy years of invention and litigation at the turn of the century would be foolish to try and leave out Nikola Tesla.

 

Winston-Salem NC Journal

 

Underneath the layers ... the core of Seifer’s book is a serious piece of scholarship.

 

Scientific American

 

I highly recommend this biography of a great technologist.

 A.A. Mullin, US Army Space & Strategic Defense Command.

 

THE DEFINITIVE BOOK OF HANDWRITING ANALYSIS

 

 Altogether this book rises like a lighthouse out of the morass of the other graphology publications in the USA. The author presents a great array of American handwritings on astoundingly high level. Although the author only had access to English sources, in spite of this, it is amazingly comprehensive. Maybe this book gets into the hands of one or another university professors and if so, it may help to break up his/her prejudices and this could lead to a raise in standards of academic psychology in the America.

Helmut Ploog, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief of the German handwriting journal Angewandte Graphologie und Personlichkeits Diagnostik.

 

TRANSCENDING THE SPEED OF LIGHT

Consciousness, Quantum Physics & the Fifth Dimension

 

I highly recommend this book to any and all readers who are seriously interested in the puzzling problem of the nature of mind and consciousness…. Marc’s epochal achievement will offer thoughts and areas of new thought to the reader for many decades to come.

Col. Tom Bearden (retired) Author of Excalibur Briefing
