World War II is the backdrop of a story of intrigue and adventure
that begins when Adolf Hitler decides in 1940 to invade England.
His plans call for his first stealing the Crown Jewels of England
so he can personally destroy these historic symbols of Great
Britain's constitutional monarchy in full view of their British
Parliament. He wants it to be a clear sign to the world that the
British Empire would be a vanquished nation and under the
iron-handed rule of Nazi Germany. When the British become aware of
the Nazi plans, they decide that the Crown Jewels are no longer
safe in England. They arrange for the collection to be sent to the
United States for safekeeping.
Guenther Strasser, a heroic and much-honored U-boat commander,
successfully masterminds a shrewd and daring plan for stealing
England's national treasures. The scheme undergoes severe
complications when Strasser's boat becomes disabled off the coast
of the United States. It takes all of his ingenuity and skill to
survive when left alone in a strange land with his precious
contraband. Conflicting emotions constantly disturb him. His
dilemma becomes a question of doing his duty or following his
conscience and doing the morally right thing. Finding romance in
this unlikely scenario becomes both a challenge and an
inspiration.
Bill Kennedy has take his signature style of blending strong
fictional plots and characters into a time that has been described
as the worst tragedy in the annals of recorded history. The horrors
of World War II are vividly recaptured in this fast-paced work of
fiction that is a reminder that "those who do not learn from the
mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them."
