About this eBook

Combat, love and sacrifice from the twilight of the war in this classic thriller of WW2 adventure.

With Berlin on the verge of capture, it is the most sensitive mission of the war.

An end game that calls for a hero – with something else besides. A game for a battle-hardened veteran ready to lay down his life for his birthplace. And for the woman he left behind...
