A young German woman confronts anti-Jewish decrees, misplaced family loyalties, and the international thirst for retribution against Hitler’s notorious SS and their “V-2 Rocket Men” in this suspense-filled saga of danger and intrigue in the heart of the Third Reich between 1934 and 1945.

Berlin, 1934. As Hitler grabs the reins of dictatorship in Germany, Klara Neumann—an aspiring psychiatric nurse and the youngest daughter of Erich Neumann, a highly reputed German rocket scientist—experiences her first sickening taste of the violent nature of National Socialism. Shaken to her core, she vows to do all in her power to shield two Jewish friends and their family from increasing persecution by the Nazi police-state. In seeking to protect them, she catches the unwanted attention of her beloved but Hitler-obsessed sister Elke and Lt. Colonel Gerhard Bremmer, a powerful and cunning SS criminal police superintendent. A nerve-wracking cat and mouse game develops as Klara attempts to divert Elke and Bremmer from her illegal “Jew-helping” efforts which, if discovered, could compromise her father’s prestigious new position on a German Army rocket weapons development team led by the world-renowned Dr. Wernher von Braun.

Tragic news received after the breakout of war in 1939 motivates Klara to join a Berlin resistance group led by relatives of the anti-fascist Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Klara, her Jewish friends and resistance partners face constant danger of discovery, arrest and execution as ferocious Allied bombing devastates the city and Hitler turns to von Braun, Klara’s father, and other rocket scientists to produce the deadly new V-2 ballistic missile that will hopefully save Germany from catastrophic defeat.

When the Soviet Army launches its final assault on Berlin, Klara’s love of family and faith in God are put to the ultimate test as she confronts the full horrors of Nazi fanaticism, brutal Soviet reprisals, and fierce international competition to capture her father and exploit his V-2 expertise. Will the sudden reappearance on the scene of her pre-war American boyfriend—now a US military intelligence officer—help or hinder Klara’s agonizing choices, and what will be their outcomes?
