Talk:Brothers (Goldman novel)

Plot stuff

The reliable sources don't show all of the plot details, but after reading much of the novel I found this review does state: http://jasondeanbooks.blogspot.com/2013/08/great-forgotten-thrillers-brothers-by.html

• The British boys die in an explosion
• The boxer and his girlfriend do the sexual requests
• The basketball player and his gf kill themselves

A German-langnuagne Swiss site beat me to revealing some plot twists. http://archive.is/7ZML

"'Die Brüder' ist ein geschickt gebauter, aus vielen Perspektiven erzählter und an gewalttätigen Szenen reicher Krimi, in dem eine Gruppe von fanatischen Geheimagenten und Wissenschaftlern eine neue, von Grossbritannien beherrschte Weltordnung anstrebt - ein doch eher wirklichkeitsfernes Szenario (oder nimmt Goldman das Genre des Superagententhrillers auf die Schippe?). Eine schockierende Pointe beschliesst den Roman. "

Gtranslate: "'The Brothers' is a skillfully crafted crime thriller, rich in violent scenes, in which a group of fanatical secret agents and scientists seek a new, British-dominated world order - a rather unrealistic scenario (or does Goldman take the genre of Superagententhrillers on the shovel?). A shocking punch concludes the novel." WhisperToMe (talk) 13:05, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
