About this ebook
On June 8, 1944, two days after the successful Allied landing at Normandy, Adolph Hitler authorized the immediate escalation of the German rocket program. He also agrees to an audacious plan to bombard the American east coast with both land and water-borne V-2 rockets - in hopes the devastation wrought will bring the United States to the negotiating table. U-boat captain Lothar Stahl lands a team of rocket experts and commandos on an obscure island off Nova Scotia taking the lighthouse inhabitants hostage. Among these is a former Canadian commando who was wounded at Dieppe and a shipwrecked American Coast Guard commander. When they realize their deadly payload Stahl, along with his new Canadian and American allies, rush to stop the attack.
