The Armageddon Secret: A Novel Inspired By Actual Events
Burnham, Robert
1938: In a Berlin lab three years before America’s entry into World War II, Hitler’s scientists were the first on the planet to split the atom. Suddenly, Germany was the only nation closing in on the secret to possessing the ultimate weapon. If the Nazis’ quest couldn’t be checked, civilization would vanish. That much is history.
In the heart of the Nazified, terror-slammed German capital, the Black Orchestra underground recruits an American expat journalist with an old and very personal hatred of the Nazis. Their network of spies has uncovered the existence of Hitler’s bomb project, and they must have a channel to America to piece together the knowledge essential to block the route. The success or failure of their struggle to derail Hitler’s ultimate weapon lies in the hands of a young German widow of a Black Orchestra fighter. Her courage will determine the fate of civilization.
She must protect The Armageddon Secret.
