The novel, Spawn of Evil D.B. Silvis, is a gripping thriller that dives into the darkest corners of post-WWII Europe, following a horrifying legacy of Nazism. The story begins with six boys, all the sons of infamous SS guards stationed at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Chosen for their inherent sociopathic tendencies, they were indoctrinated to participate savagely in the atrocities committed under the Third Reich. This violence, however, did not end with the fall of the Nazis.
After their parents were tried and executed as war criminals in 1945, the boys were placed with adoptive German families, seemingly to begin new lives. Yet, their deeply ingrained psychopathic behavior soon re-erupts, manifesting in a wave of rapes and murders that spreads fear and terror across Europe. These six individuals are not simply criminals; they are the very spawn of the evil they were raised by, and their actions demand justice.
The only people capable of stopping this new wave of terror are the Nakam, which translates to “vengeance.” This underground group is a hardy band of ex-prisoners, patriots, and Jews from Palestine, united by a singular, focused purpose: to locate and execute Germans who have evaded justice for their devastating war crimes. The Nakam quickly realize that these six brutal sons must be hunted down before history can repeat itself on an even larger scale. The lines blur as the victims become the avengers, and the hunters—the Nakam—are dispatched to locate the monstrous Spawn of Evil D.B. Silvis. The tables are definitively turned: the ones who once hunted innocents have now become the hunted, leading to a tense, violent, and morally complex pursuit across the continent. This extended narrative of revenge and justice details the fight to end a terrifying lineage of violence forever.
