Summary
It is the summer of 1934, and Hitler is nearing the summit of supreme power in Germany, his eyes set on European domination. Both Britain and Germany are working on nuclear fission, but when Britain's MI6 gets word that a German scientist has made a key breakthrough in germ warfare, they send Elena Standish on a gangerous mission to get him out of Germany before he's forced to share his knowledge and its devastating power with Hitler's elite. But the British soon learn that it's more than just time that Elena is working against. The new head of Germany's germ warfare division is an old enemy of Elena's grandfather Lucas, the former head of MI6. And he's bent on using any means at his disposal to avenge his defeat at Lucas's hands twenty years before. What starts as an effort to save Europe from the devastation of disease soon becomes an intensely personal fight. As Elena and the scientist make their way across Germany, from Berlin to Bavaria and beyond, they confront not only the Gestapo but also a malicious group of unpredictable Nazi supporters
