It is the spring of 1944, and the Third Reich is sliding towards defeat.
But the Germans have one last ace up their sleeve.
The sick and demented Brigadeführer calls it Todeswind – the Wind of Death.
With the sweep of his remaining arm, the Brigadeführer uses this new deadly gas to execute 4,000 Jewish captives in a remote forest.
But Ally spies are everywhere, and they alert the British to this new threat.
British Intelligence receives frightening reports that a new rocket programme, controlled by the SS, is being set up in Poland and is linked with producing this deadly nerve gas.
If successful, the SS could wipe out an entire city, maybe even an entire country, in a matter of moments.
To prevent the Allies surrending under the threat of a cloud of death descending on them, Captain Callum Douglas and his SAS troop are given the task of preventing the SS from activating such a fearsome plan.
Their brief: to destroy the enemy rocket site and to kidnap the SS general in charge …
Wind of Death is an tense Second World War action adventure.
