1941. Hitler's Blitzkrieg ravages Europe while a neutral America sits on the sidelines. In the shadows of Washington and Berlin, a malevolent Senator and ruthless business tycoon join forces with a cabal of fanatical German patriots to hatch a diabolical scheme that will decide the outcome of the war. Meanwhile, a young U.S. army officer ponders his uncertain future as a fledgling intelligence operative in a new, central agency. What Michael Barnes does not realize, however, is that he is about to be plunged into a terrifying global odyssey-a desperate race against time that will propel him from New York to Mexico, then into the cauldron of Nazi-occupied Europe, bringing him face to face with murderous conspirators, and the deadly, infectious virus they have harnessed. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Paul Schultz has been a history teacher for thirty years. He is the author of The Hausmann Conspiracy, in which the espionage adventures of OSS Agent Michael Barnes continue.
