There's an uneasy and unholy alliance building across the Caribbean. Few in the U.S. government want to believe that a third world country and its chest-thumping leader could pose a credible threat. But then why are the Chinese helping to train its special forces? And why are the Russians helping to build a nuclear power plant? Charley Castillo and his men go in to investigate, but they have no idea what they've just gotten themselves into.

It is summer 1943. Two of the Allies' most important plans are at grave risk -- Operation Overlord's invasion of France and the Manhattan Projject's race to build the atomic bomb. President Roosevelt turns to OSS spy chief Wild Bill Donovan -- and Donovan turns to Dick Canidy and his teams behind enemy lines. They must fight the Axis to sabotage Germany's new "aerial torpedo" rockets; to rescue a missing covert OSS team; and to exploit German intelligence...

The first is political - the very survival of the OSS. The second is on a much grander scale - the possible next world war, against Joe Stalin and his voracious ambitions. To get a jump on the latter, Frade is conducting a daring and dangerous operation....

October 1945: The Germans and Japanese have surrendered. For Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS, it should be time to pack up, but they have far more important things to do. In the closing months of the war, the United States made a secret deal with the head of German intelligence’s Soviet section. In exchange for a treasure trove of intelligence, including the identity of the Soviet spies in the American atomic bomb program, his people...
