Review: Codename Parsifal
The Spear of Destiny. The Roman Legionnaire's lance that pierced Christ's body as he hung on the cross.
Legend claims whomever possesses it will become a great conqueror.
Martin Roy Hill has taken this legend and developed a compelling read that intricately weaves themes
of betrayal, myth and WWII into the high-stakes world of special
services as the Americans, Germans and Russians all race to find the legendary spear.
Codename Parsifal has a masterful blend of action and character development as we get to know the thoughts and actions of soldiers from each side of the war.
Hill skillfully portrays the psychological effect of belief as the spear is sort after for its power.
Set against the backdrop of the final days of WWII Hill uses vivid imagery and meticulous attention to detail to give a believable portrayal of the special services mission to find the authentic spear.
Hills expertise in crafting engaging action sequences is complemented by his ability to develop a rich, believable plot line.
Codename Parsifal is a thought provoking exploration of the idea of talismans, superstition and mysticism.
