Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 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. German general Ludwig Beck's heroic Black Orchestra Underground fighters swore to topple Hitler before he extinguished humanity. That much is history. In the heart of the Nazified, terror-slammed German capital, Black Orchestra recruits an American expat journalist with an old and very personal hatred of the Nazis for a momentous quest. Their network of spies has uncovered the existence of Hitler's atom bomb project, but no German atomic scientist can be trusted to help them disrupt this menace. They must have a channel to America to piece together the knowledge essential to block the route as they battle the Gestapo, betrayal from within, and their own demons to stop the German atomic bomb. Success or failure of their desperate final struggle to derail Hitler's ultimate weapon lies in the hands of a young German widow. Her courage and intelligence will decide the fate of not just the war but of all humanity. The Second World War still commands attention seven decades later. Yet, our collective knowledge of this devastating conflict lacks the comprehension of how narrow our planet's escape was from an unspeakable outcome. The keystone for creating the atomic bomb was The Armageddon Secret.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - At the age of 16, in 1959, Dalton Henson, an athletic but emotionally disturbed youth living in a small central Florida town, suddenly becomes sexually attracted to prepubescent boys. This attraction gradually intensifies until it nearly completely replaces the attraction he previously felt toward gir…ls and women. As the years go by, he is extremely ashamed of being a 'sex pervert' (as he thinks of himself ), and constantly strives to conceal 'the way he is' from people he is associating with. This is complicated because he blushes easily and is inclined to do so anytime someone mentions anything pertaining to sex. Despite his sexual attraction, he conceives that sexually molesting a boy would be morally wrong, and he never does so or considers doing so. This book follows Dalton Henson through college, a year of teaching physical education and coaching athletics at a junior high school, a summer as a camp counselor, two years in the U.S. Army-including a year in Vietnam-and the year after he is discharged from the Army, as he lives in a low-grade motel room in Tampa, writing a novel and interacting with a variety of motel staff and guests.
