The Stasi Years

KJ Clarke

After training JC Criftin deploys across the Iron Curtain to work in the east. He is now Marco Esser a Captain in the Stasi

 

State Security Police was the feared Stasi of the GDR, the successor organisation to the Gestapo, HSDV XIII was the most feared of all the departments, The Devil himself turned up for work one day and Captain Marco Esser was his name. After the fall of the wall he will become Germany's most wanted man, for murder, crimes against humanity and many others criminal charges. In the East his name is still spoken of in hushed and feared terms, just in case he ever came back. The official line was he killed himself after the fall of the wall, but how can you be sure the Devil can be killed by himself or anyone else for that matter. Even the Soviet KGB files indicated that they were glad that the Devil worked if not for them at least with them in the East German sector. This is the true story of what he did, not just in an attempt to clear up the myth, but to give some closure to those who survived.

There is an extraordinary confidence in the way you tell your story . I must say it takes quite a lot of nerve to write about a place like the old East Germany , which was the ultimate secluded society, although presumably we know much more about it now and I assume it must be possible to proper research about it . You have managed to create a convincing scenario and the writing is concise , clear and straightforward . My criticism would be that nothing very much appears to happen in the opening stages - I must be honest I haven't as yet read all that far , in my opinion I think you need to provide more of a hook. Would you be kind enough (if you have nothing more constructive to do ) , to take a look at my novel 'A Buccaneer' set amongst Pirates in the 17th century , best wishes , Strachan Gordon
