“A rousing spy melodrama . . . for anyone who cannot resist history’s ‘what might have beens'“ -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
A kidnapping that may deliver the world to Nazi domination.
Deputy Führer Rudolph Hess, long presumed a defector from Hitler’s inner circle, is in fact the deadliest double-agent of the war.
November 1942. American and German scientists race to produce the first atomic bomb, a weapon each side fervently hopes will win them the war. Hess, a prisoner of the British, is flown to the United States to be interrogated by Enrico Fermi, the brilliant scientist working on the vast secret project to create an atomic bomb. Little does Fermi know that with the help of hidden Nazi agents and ruthless SS commandos, Hess plots to kidnap him for his knowledge on atomic power for Germany.
American Agent John Crown trips across a puzzle that reveals Hess to be an espionage mastermind instead of the addle-brained defector the press paints him to be. Crown and Hess race toward a deadly confrontation that will determine whether the Nazis may get the bomb. The fate of the free world hangs above a nightmare abyss of intrigue and violence.
Genre: Thriller
