Description
The story of the dangerous race to obtain the ultimate deterrent, with hidden roots in Nazi Germany.
An investigation into a series of unexplained deaths of former Israeli intelligence agents uncovers startling revelations from the past, which expose a current threat, not only to Israel, but the world.
Investigators discover Hitler’s astonishing plans, in the closing stages of the Second World War, to use an atomic weapon. A post-war strategy is revealed, adopted by the fledgling state of Israel, to obtain ‘the bomb’, employing deadly espionage tactics, even involving former Nazis. Astounding evidence throws new light on one of the most tragic and shocking assassinations of the twentieth century.
Agents desperately seek answers in a race against time, as they strive to prevent a global catastrophe. Power, emotion and politics all compete in an epic story driven by the supreme human instinct – survival.
Based on meticulous research, the book delves into real events from the Second World War to the present day, raising many historical questions in a highly credible and powerful international drama.
“A terrific read… Could this be true? Kerr demonstrates brilliant descriptive writing. This should fly off the shelves…” Independent Review

I loved this book! Read it in just a few hours. Could not get enough. Didn’t see the ending coming. Would definitely read again and buy it.
Harry P, Reviewer
Wow, what a rollercoaster of a read!
The amount of historical detail that Kerr delves in to throughout the book is incredible and really adds authenticity to the story. The book itself is well written, structured and easy to follow whilst keeping you gripped from start to finish. The way in which we jump from different time periods and different key players is great and allows you to feel like you are completely immersed in the drama in which David and those around him are in.
A great read! 5/5
Robin P, Reviewer
In his historical novels Christopher Kerr succeeds brilliantly in combining the known facts with his own special interpretation of people and events not generally recorded in the history books. His exhaustive research adds a depth of authenticity and despite non-stop action, intrigue and suspense he allows his characters to drive the plot forward with an evocative style of writing calling upon all human emotions.
This is much more than just a story about Germany's nuclear experiments in WW2. It has a particular relevance to the dangerous world in which we live today, where we are forever at risk of Armageddon as countries and regimes and religious dissent continue to stir the pot of a dangerous recipe for world disaster.
This truly is a novel written on an epic scale by a master of the genre.
