"Dick Canidy and the agents of the OSS scour war torn Poland looking for a rocket scientist who holds the secrets to the Nazis most dangerous weapon in this new entry in W.E.B. Griffin's New York Times bestselling Men at War series"-- Provided by publisher.
April 1940. By terms of the Soviet Nazi Nonaggression pact, the two dictatorships divided the helpless nation of Poland. Now, the Russians are rounding up enemies of the state in their occupation zone, but one essential target slips away. Dr. Sebastian Kapsky had spent years working with Walter Riedel and Werner von Braun in the early days of rocket science, but as a man with a conscience he refused to continue when he saw the perversion of their work by the Nazis. That makes him the most knowledgeable person about German superweapons outside of Germany. The Germans want him. The Soviets are desperate to grab him, but Wild Bill Donovan knows there's only one man who can find him in the middle of a war zone and get him out--Dick Canidy.

ICYMI submitted by GJBarnett2 on December 20, 2022, 12:21am ... Griffin died in 2019 and his son, who was listed as co-author of a number of Griffin's final works, declined to continue after the former's death so, it appears, his estate made arrangements for the use of Griffin's name and reputation in works by Peter Kirsanow who gives no indication of having made any effort to duplicate Griffin's style and, frankly, appears unlikely even to have read any of Griffin's works. Bluntly, those hoping to find anything reminiscent of Griffin will be disappointed. He would be embarrassed to find his name associated with this trash.
