A team of hand-picked soldiers is parachuted into the area with the most specific instructions and one simple objective. But facing the armed might of both the Nazis and the Red Army isn’t their only problem – they have a traitor in their ranks, a man with his own very different agenda. A gripping tale of heroism and treachery.” — James Becker, author of “The Lost Testament” “A cracking read!” — Roger Hurn, author of “Business is Murder” “A thriller in a class of its own!” — Matt Lynn, author of the “Black Ops” series.
