When physicist Kristopher Lehrer discovers that his work is being used to help the Nazi's confronts his boss. Unexpectedly his boss has a heart attack, hits his head on the corner of his desk and is dead. Michel, a security guard, comes to his rescue and helps him escape. Determined to keep Kristopher's work away from the Nazi's, he steals the only complete plans so that a horrific weapon cannot be built.

Overall, the book wasn't bad, the author created some interesting characters and kept the plot line moving. However I found the book a bit hard to read. It was well written, but the plot just came across as unbelievable. I found the relationship between the two men very distracting; after all they are running for their lives. Maybe it was because they were German, but their interactions came across as extremely forced. ( )
