The Russians knew there were Nazi scientists hiding in Vienna who could quickly give them their own A-Bomb. With it, Stalin could make Europe and the rest of the world tremble. American James Cole turned out to be their biggest obstacle. All around him people were being kidnapped, shot and seduced. He had to outwit the KGB, his allies and even his own leaders in a desperate bid to keep the bomb out of Stalin's grasp. Cole was an unlikely hero but then, Vienna, Austria in the months after World War II was an unlikely place. Russians, British, French and Austrians struggled for position and power with no one really in charge. The Americans, as the world's only nuclear power, deactivated the OSS wartime intelligence service and did not replace it. Spying was seen as dirty and unbecoming. Blind to the intrigue and deception swirling around them, the American government preached cooperation and friendship with our wartime allies. It would take bold action. It would take a real actor, but James Cole was up to the role. With his small band of misfits in supporting roles, it would be a world class performance.

Autorenporträt
Jim Miller is a retired military and later civilian pilot. He was once the Director of Operations for the Presidential Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base. He's traveled to every continent except Antarctica and has lived in Austria, Germany, Japan, Thailand, and over a dozen American cities. Along the way, he's been a student of the people and places and their stories. Now, he is the author of more than a dozen novels of overlapping genres. His historical military fiction novels include Heavy Jets, Vienna, Counter Intelligence, One Last Mission, Stealing Ho Chi Minh's Gold, and Once Upon a Time There Was a War, all derived from personal experience and associations. The more whimsical Terror on the Tundra, Terror in Appalachia, and Terror in the Smokies are just fun looks at what might happen if a pack of giant prehistoric wolves evolved in polar isolation find themselves adrift on an iceberg to begin a southern migration that brings them into conflict with humans. It's often told from the wolves' point of view. And then there are Werewolves Don't Cry and The Old Man and the Werewolf. You can sum up his entire library very simply by realizing that, just because it's life or death, you don't have to take it too seriously. Just enjoy reading.
