    About this ebook

    Synopsis
    The final battles of World War 2 are playing out in Europe, yet Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party still clings to the belief that Germany will emerge victorious. In a last ditch attempt to push back the invading Allies, Hitler orders the SS to create a defence group, called the Werwolf, to harass the Allied advance. The group, mainly formed from the Hitler Youth, set up lairs in the Austrian Carpathian Mountains. Here they plan their guerrilla warfare campaign.
    Meanwhile the Allies have sent in infiltration units to work behind enemy lines to flush out top Nazi and SS leaders. American and Russian personnel join one such group, personally selected by Winston Churchill.
    On the surface, it seems to the British Major in command, that his allies are interested only in finding treasures looted by the Nazis. The group capture a top Nazi official, who tells them of Hitler’s plan to use a V3 weapon aimed at London, which will deliver a nuclear payload. Before he commits suicide, the Nazi official reveals that the launch of the weapon will be in two days time. Using Top Secret, fledgling technology, the group race against time to find and destroy the weapon and nuclear payload.

    Tom Kane

    As a child, Tom Kane's family always insisted he was born in the corner of the living room, behind the TV. That strange assertion, true or false, seems to have set the tone for the rest of his life.  Kane's mother inspired him to write. Science Fiction, in the form of Doctor Who and Isaac Asimov inspired his love of the genre. Monty Python inspired him to be silly and he continues to blame Billy Connolly for his infrequent bursts of bad language  In the corner or behind the TV, what is officially known about Tom Kane's birth is that it took place in England on a dark and stormy night.
