Summary:

Tapped by FDR to assist the Allies' efforts to secure France and build an atomic bomb, OSS spy chief Wild Bill Donovan and top agent Dick Canidy coordinate a sabotage mission in Germany while countering a mole who is leaking Manhattan Project secrets to the Soviets.

It is summer 1943. Two of the Allies' most important plans are at great risk - Operation Overlord's invasion of France and the Manhattan Project's race to build the atomic bomb. A furious President Roosevelt turns to OSS spy chief Wild Bill Donovan - and Donovan turns to Dick Canidy and his teams behind enemy lines. They've certainly got their work cut out for them. In the weeks to come they must fight the Axis in many ways, to try and find and sabotage Germany's new 'aerial torpedo' rockets, some of which are rumored to be fitted out with deadly nerve gas and aimed at London; and to exploit German intelligence agents and generals disgruntled enough with Hitler to maybe try to topple him. And as id that weren't enough, they must battle the enemy within, as well: the Soviets are using moles to steal Manhattan Project secrets, and if the Soviets build their own atomic bomb...who knows where that might lead?
