"A whale of a tale, well-told, with an impressive handling of the facts that makes the whole story move along smartly." – Thomas E. Ricks, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Fiasco and The Generals
Operation Storm King is an explosive alternative history about the death of President Franklin Roosevelt. It will take you on a heart-stopping journey, challenging your view of reality.
Historians tell us that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died of a stroke in Warm Springs, Georgia. Operation Storm King tells of a shocking yet entirely plausible alternative version, an audacious Nazi raid to kidnap FDR from West Point.
Starting in January 1945, "Operation Storm King" follows a small team of Nazi commandos as they penetrate New York Harbor and sail up the Hudson River in the revolutionary Type XXI U-Boat. Their mission: kidnap the American President and force the United States into an alliance with Germany against Russia. When FDR’s heroic but ultimately suicidal actions foil the plot, Vice-President Truman covers up the kidnapping and creates the myth of FDR's peaceful death to prevent public panic.
Seventy-five years later, Mai Zhao, a hard-driving woman West Point cadet, discovers the shattered U-Boat wreck in the Hudson River and uncovers its shocking secrets. The U.S. national security apparatus goes on alert. Zhao’s unstoppable efforts to uncover the truth threaten to undermine the American public's faith in government. Washington mobilizes powerful political and legal forces to stop her.
With fierce battles and sacrifices, action-packed scenes, and well-crafted characters, "Operation Storm King" is a must-read for fans of explosive wartime adventures, gritty historical war fiction, and riveting alternative history epics. For fans of best-selling authors like Philip K. Dick, Robert Harris, or Tom Clancy and those looking for a detailed techno-thriller, Operation Storm King is a book you won’t want to put down.
Follow the desperate mission, and decide for yourself what really happened!
