Belletristik/Erzählende Literatur
Beschreibung
As Europe see-saws between war and peace, Charles Speedicut finds himself involved in a series of clandestine missions for both the British Secret Intelligence Service and the equally secretive Brotherhood of the Sons of Thunder. From the concentration camp at Dachau, where Book 5 of The Speedicut Memoirs opens, via Whitehall, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bavaria, Switzerland and France, Speedicut is involved in plots to frustrate the British government’s policy of appeasement, assassinate Hitler, obtain an ENIGMA machine and – as German tanks roll through the Low Countries into France – to rescue vitally important stocks of gold and diamonds, France’s leading scientists and the world’s entire stock of ‘heavy water’. “I attribute the failure of appeasement to the interference of Charles Speedicut. In consequence, I blame him for the Second World War” The Rt Hon Neville Chamberlain “Speedicut will be the death of me, unless I eliminate him first – as I intend to.” SS-Obergruppenführer und General der Polizei Reinhard Heydrich
