Overview

Dead men tell no tales... Or do they? Inside a rusting German U-Boat are millions in gold bars, stolen art, and a secret that could tear NATO apart. The KGB, the CIA, Nazi SS hitmen, even the Israeli Mossad - everyone is willing to kill for it, but only former US Airman Mike Randall knows the truth in this Cold War spy versus spy thriller. After his B-17 crashes in East Prussia in the winter of 1945, Randall finds himself in a Nazi forced labor battalion in Konigsberg on the frozen Baltic coast, surrounded by the Red Army. Also in the old port is Kapitan Eric Bruckner, one of Germany's last surviving U-Boats, and SS Major Heinz Kruger, Martin Bormann's sinister hatchet man. Unaware that the U-Boat has been tapped for a top-secret mission, Randall manages to stow away. After a British bomber sends the U-boat to the bottom, he is the lone survivor and the only one who knows what is really inside. Seven years later, when Randall finally speaks up, he puts a target on his own forehead, one that the Russians, the West Germans, the U-boat's former Nazi owners, the US government, and even the Israeli Mossad quickly take aim at. Some want the gold, some want Randall dead, and some want proof that there is a high-ranking spy inside NATO itself. A historic period piece, this action adventure thriller novel is set in the 1950's and deals with one man's search for redemption and revenge. Caught between the Kremlin's spies, the CIA, the Mossad, and a new, deadly, 4th Reich, all he wants is to pay an old debt with a steel-jacketed bullet.
