Captains Island: 1942

For the sleepy little fishing village in Casco Bay, war was just a distant rumbling. Life went on pretty much as usual while their giant sixteen-inch guns guarded the convoys leaving Portland, Maine. Only Tom Heiden, a young American security officer, was uneasy—they were vulnerable to attack.

But nobody else seemed ready to listen . . . until four thousand miles away, Martin Bormann, whom Heiden had seen once in a newsreel, whom he had never even thought about, decided he should die . . .

Not since THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE . . . the blockbuster thriller! Ryker was a killer, an American-born mercenary . . . and Germany's most valued secret agent. He had served the Reich faithfully and well behind enemy lines in France, Poland, Norway. But this time the assignment was different: to return to the place of his birth as the leader of a Nazi commando team. Their mission: capture an army base off the coast of Maine! This time Ryker would strike the blow that would destroy his native land . . . The Casco Deception.
