Car bombs placed by a group called Red Hand are explod­ing all over West Ger­many tar­get­ing Jews and Jew­ish owned busi­ness­es and killing Amer­i­can, British and Ger­man cit­i­zens. Red Hand’s anti-Amer­i­can/Bri­tish man­i­festo reads like Nazi pro­pa­gan­da. Now, just four years after the 1972 Olympics mas­sacre of Israeli ath­letes and three decades after the Holo­caust, the West Ger­man gov­ern­ment is fac­ing its worst polit­i­cal night­mare — Ger­mans are again killing Jews — and it sus­pects Nazis who want to cre­ate the Fourth Reich are some­how involved.

The West Ger­man police can’t stop the bomb­ings so the Amer­i­can and British gov­ern­ments decide to act covert­ly. Josh Haman, an Amer­i­can Jew and a Naval Avi­a­tor is part way through an exchange tour with the Roy­al Navy’s Fleet Air Arm joins the team led by his friend and SEAL Team Six mem­ber Mar­ty Cabot. The hunt takes their U.S., British and Israeli team into East Ger­many to exe­cute their writ­ten orders which tell them to find, neu­tral­ize and ren­der harm­less to the Unit­ed States and her allies the mem­bers of Red Hand.”
