1938: In a Berlin lab three years before America's entry into World War II, Hitler's scientists were the first on the planet to split the atom. Suddenly, Germany was the only nation closing in on the secret to possessing the ultimate weapon. If the Nazis' quest couldn't be checked, civilization would vanish. German general Ludwig Beck's heroic Black Orchestra Underground fighters swore to topple Hitler before he extinguished humanity. That much is history. In the heart of the Nazified, terror-slammed German capital, Black Orchestra recruits an American expat journalist with an old and very personal hatred of the Nazis for a momentous quest. Their network of spies has uncovered the existence of Hitler's atom bomb project, but no German atomic scientist can be trusted to help them disrupt this menace. They must have a channel to America to piece together the knowledge essential to block the route as they battle the Gestapo, betrayal from within, and their own demons to stop the German atomic bomb. Success or failure of their desperate final struggle to derail Hitler's ultimate weapon lies in the hands of a young German widow. Her courage and intelligence will decide the fate of not just the war but of all humanity. The Second World War still commands attention seven decades later. Yet, our collective knowledge of this devastating conflict lacks the comprehension of how narrow our planet's escape was from an unspeakable outcome. The keystone for creating the atomic bomb was The Armageddon Secret.
