Leo Richter was just a working-class boy from Regensburg with a talent for gymnastics when he was selected to participate in the Berlin Olympics. He had no idea just how much his life would change after accepting to represent Germany as both an Olympian and an Aryan.

There was one thing Leo knew, his future would be amazing, after all, he lived in the New German Reich, the greatest country on the planet. His fatherland was a modern forward-thinking nation, rich in culture, with a strong devoted folk, unlike most other countries in the world.

So, what if his friends were all joining the SS, or that one of his brothers had become a Fascist nutjob, or that Leo had to suppress his sexuality out of fear of persecution?

Unimportant, they were just the price of living in a modern Utopia…

Erik Benjamin Harper was born Benjamin Harper in York, England, in 1979, to an English father and a Swiss mother. In his teens, his mother relocated them to Switzerland, where he attended an all-boys boarding school. After graduating from school, he lived a year on a farm before apprenticing to become a chef. He worked as a chef for some years and found that although he loved cooking, it was not his calling. He married at 30 and was happy for a while until he suffered a burnout. This led to him being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He began to write short stories as a way to deal with everything that was happening to him, but never assumed he would write professionally due to his dyslexia. His mental health struggle would end his marriage after 11 years. Over the next years, his mental health began to stabilise, and life was good. During this time, he had his name changed to Erik Benjamin, something he had always wanted to do. One day, he decided to start writing again and found that he had never been happier than when he was sitting at his laptop, creating.
