The Seraphim Legacy Paul Fee

The Seraphim Legacy begins in 1945 with launch of a secret V-2 rocket carrying a special payload from a German base in occupied Denmark. This is followed hours later by a German U-boat casting off from a secluded base on the Baltic Coast, headed for a mysterious rendezvous at sea. Adolph Hitler, as one of his last acts, has ordered both actions as Allied Forces descend upon his bunker in Berlin. In May 1996, a British ocean excavator discovers wreckage of unknown origin deep in the North Sea. A group of extreme right-wing German nationalists hurries to the site, hoping to find the V-2 rocket that went off course at the end of the war. American intelligence agents from the CIA are also interested, because they believe that the wreckage is that of a sunken U-boat with the remains of a high ranking Nazi official. They also believe the submarine may possibly contain information needed by Congress regarding the location of secret Swiss bank accounts holding assets of Holocaust victims. Instead, the CIA agents find themselves embroiled in a struggle of global proportions and hampered by powerful forces within their own government. From South America, Austria, Germany, Washington, London, Moscow, Baghdad and the vast darkness and cold of the North Atlantic the pieces of the puzzle gradually emerge. And the image they form is horrific - a nightmare repeating itself after more than fifty years. The Germans are creating, testing, and stockpiling weaponized biological bacterium under the code name Seraphim. Their goal is to take up where Hitler left off, with a weapon powerful enough to create a Fourth Reich, while America and her coalition Allies are distracted fighting a multi-front war on terrorism. Fans of Ken Follett, Jack Higgins, Frederick Forsyth, and W. E. B. Griffin will love The Seraphim Legacy.
