Book Description
It's 1944, and the quaint Midwest farm town of Russell, Kansas, hides a secret that could turn the tide for Hitler and the Third Reich in Europe. Nazi spies Andreas and Peter Othmer find it easy to blend in with the small community of 2nd- and 3rd-generation German-American Kansans. Hand-selected by Germany's military intelligence service, they're tasked with secretly documenting B-29 flight patterns from nearby Walker Air Force Base. But as the Allies advance eastward across Europe, the Nazi regime collapses--and with it the brothers' relationship, leading to a shocking truth concealed by the town's most powerful man with strong ties to the White House. Decades after the war, the long-buried secret begins to emerge. Two lifelong friends race to piece together the remaining clues, desperate to expose the dark truth before it's too late.

Book Description
USA TODAY BESTSELLER A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series! October 2559. It has been a year since the renegade artificial intelligence Cortana issued a galaxy-wide ultimatum, subjecting many worlds to martial law under the indomitable grip of her Forerunner weapons. Outside her view, the members of Blue Team—John-117, the Master Chief; Fred-104; Kelly-087; and Linda-058—are assigned from the UNSC Infinity to make a covert insertion onto the ravaged planet Reach. Their former home and training ground—and the site of humanity’s most cataclysmic military defeat near the end of the Covenant War—Reach still hides myriad secrets after all these years. Blue Team’s mission is to penetrate the rubble-filled depths of CASTLE Base and recover top-secret assets locked away in Dr. Catherine Halsey’s abandoned laboratory—assets which may prove to be humanity’s last hope against Cortana. But Reach has been invaded by a powerful and ruthless alien faction, who have their own reasons for being there. Establishing themselves as a vicious occupying force on the devastated planet, this enemy will soon transform Blue Team’s simple retrieval operation into a full-blown crisis. And with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, mission failure is not an option…
