“ … carries you along from the first page to the last. It's a wonderful read, like a Robert Ludlum novel. The pace is fast, the characters well developed and it's well researched …”
— Robert Magid, Editor, View from the Hill
“Simon's prose is tense and unyielding, his historic recreation utterly tangible, his human drama – scene after breathless scene – gripping and compelling.”
— The Los Altos Town Crier
Fast-paced and filled with suspense, this novel puts the reader in the center of the turmoil in Europe on the brink of World War II.

A ruthless German officer, his younger, idealistic subordinate, and the beautiful woman who captivates them both. A world-famous physicist facing persecution. Battle-scarred friends from an earlier war, one seeking revenge for his family’s massacre. These lives become entangled as the last chance to avoid World War II hangs in the balance and each must face decisions that may change their lives forever.
