Those are what my co-guest, Bruno De Marqes, talked about on the Speculative Fiction Cantina podcast.
Fate plays some interesting jokes. I was there to talk about my books, especially False Flag . I fully expected to rock the boat broaching some of the conspiritorial subjects FF deals with. (Truth be told, there wasn’t time to go into much detail anyway.) Bruno was there to talk about his book, Futureman. I couldn’t believe my ears when he mentioned researching Operation High Jump and Operation Paper Clip.
So here’s a guy in Portugul who chased down the same crazy historical facts-that-sound-like-pulp-fiction I had. The between-the-lines background for one sub-plot in False Flag is MK Ultra and Project Monarch. All of the above were related to Paper Clip.
It doesn’t sound as crazy coming from a foreigner, for some reason.
Anyway, the subjects were only mentioned in summary. Most of the interview focuses on other aspects of us/our fiction.
One thought on “Paper Clip, High Jump, and Nazis in Antarctica”
