About this ebook
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Penn Cage series comes a gripping World War II thriller that “vaporizes almost every cliché about the limits of the genre...[it’s] good enough to read twice”(Kirkus Reviews).
It is January 1944—and as Allied troops prepare for D-Day, Nazi scientists develop a toxic nerve gas that will repel and wipe out any invasion force. To salvage the planned assault, two vastly different but equally determined men are sent to infiltrate the secret concentration camp where the poison gas is being perfected on human subjects. Their only objective: destroy all traces of the gas and the men who created it—no matter how many lives may be lost...including their own.

A great read for those who want a glimpse into Hell whilst having their feet still planted in reality. Very well written and thought out. Truly obvious the author took time to do real research and then added his spin on it to lighten the mood. Amazing!

except for a few predictable outcomes it was written well. some of the mission details dragged on, but it was to me, a different direction in WWI that I haven't read yet.

One of the best spy novel I've read in a long time up there with the likes of Robert Ludlum and David Morrell
