The time is April 1945. World War II is coming to an end. And a new war is beginning. For the first time, Germany has a weapon - code-name Phoenix - with a truly unlimited potential for destruction. How can such a war, against such an enemy, ever be won? Yet, at the same time, there remains no one left alive to lead an operation as mad as Phoenix. No one with the incredible mixture of power, will, and insane evil that the overlords of the Third Reich had once possessed. After all, Hitler, Goebbels, and the Fuehrer's other henchmen are all safely dead. Or are they? Now, one of the most daring novelists at work today has created an astonishing work of fiction that is as plausible and exciting as anything ever written. At its center are a man and a woman, agents of Allied intelligence, who are both partners and lovers: Sheridan, a veteran American officer whose training had never prepared him for a threat as unexpected and as awesome as Phoenix; and Debra, and beautiful Jewish refugee from a land in ruins, who must help prevent an even greater holocaust ravaging a world far beyond Europe's borders. Racing over two continents, Sheridan and Debra watch in horrified disbelief as history's most dangerous tyrants rise incredibly, yet irrefutably, from the ashes. They thrust themselves into the path of a devastating superweapon that has stolen across an ocean to strike at the heart of America itself. And ultimately, they confront a seductive female German pilot who has guided the most formidable threat that has ever faced the world to its fateful, eleventh-hour rendezvous - and who holds the key to its terrifying realization. Black Phoenix is the novel that redefines the wartime thriller - areading experience that will hold you prisoner until you turn its last page and a story you will never forget.
