Nazi plans to develop an atomic weapon lay in ruins amidst the rubble of a secret Norwegian base destroyed in a daring Allied raid. But the essential supply of heavy water remains intact, and production of the bomb is relocated to Franco's Spain. The Nazis would have their war-winning weapon, but without heavy bombers, how could they deliver it?
Mick Flynn swaps the back streets of Cork in 1916 for the trenches of the Western Front, returning a beaten man, disillusioned with the subjugated Ireland he calls home. Falling in step with the IRA seems his only way out.
For Hugo Holt, life in rural England offers little chance of expanding his horizons until he joins RAF Bomber Command. Flying his Halifax over occupied Europe, he shares life and death experiences with a group of young men whose real lives have not even started.
Two men unknown to each other travel a path towards world-changing history, a path strewn with U-boats, undercover German operations, and a stolen British Halifax bomber delivering the fateful atomic weapon to Britain.
