Fiction
The Unsinkable Herr Goering
by Ian Cassidy
Description
Contrary to what the so-called history books tell you, Hermann Goering, Hitler's Deputy, Head of the Luftwaffe and second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, did not leave this world courtesy of a cyanide tablet secreted in the heel of his jackboot minutes before his appointment with the hangman. The truth is far more bizarre.
THE UNSINKABLE HERR GOERING is a monumental debut novel by Ian Cassidy. It follows Goering, a man blindsided by hubris, on his attempted escape – from both Germany as well as from the Allies – and the inept men of mettle who put a stop to it.
It is a hilariously depraved story of of villainous villains, slightly less villainous heroes, bad behavior (and even worse beer), and uncomfortable underwear. Not since A Confederacy of Dunces has a book brought to life such audaciously flawed characters. It gets so much wrong, yet so much right.

Marketing Information
Despite obtaining a publishing deal in a quite unprecedented manner - I was tracked down, approached and signed up by a publisher from the other side of the world - I am un-represented by an agent and thus I have approached a very small number of respected and enlightened agents such as yourself in the hope that they also will see in my work that which my publisher saw. For further information contact Nathan Gray –
My publisher must have seen something in my work because since contacting me they have invested heavily, both time and money, in my book. They have:-
- Offered me a publishing deal covering the US & UK.
- Paid an advance of £1000.
- Worked at length with me editing and revising the book.
- Employed designers to produce the cover, spine etc.
- Produced a finished version and pushed it through to production.
- Sent me a number of complimentary copies to distribute to friends and family.
- Made the book available on Amazon in hard copy and ebook formats.
- Employed a respected PR firm who are currently lobbying the media in the USA.
- That PR firm has mailed copies of the novel to over one hundred media outlets in the USA and beyond. Further details from Elaine Krakau at
- Employed a distributor to handle distribution in the USA & UK. The Novel was available at the London Book Fair. Further details from Aaron Silverman of SCB Distributors,

When farce works it is as polished as any art form, having its feet solidly planted in reality - with the rest of the corpus flitting about in outrageous directions. And if the characters upon which the
