Hitler's best chance for victory may come from the least likely quarter...
When Hitler's elite Uranium Club hesitates to build the weapon that will ensure Nazi victory, SS officer Max Heldorf devises an ingeniously devious plan that includes assembling a shadow team of scientists drawn from the death camps. Heldorf becomes distracted by the beauty of Dr. Hannah Goldmann, the project's lynchpin, who unwittingly presents him with a dilemma that threatens the project, a dilemma that will take all his deceit and cunning to resolve.
Meanwhile, American agent Christina Lindgren runs afoul of the Gestapo and is trapped with vital intelligence - and an injured stranger, a member of the Danish Resistance. They pool their strengths to escape and to organize the greatest resistance operation of all time - the rescue of all of Denmark's Jews. Preoccupied with the dangers of their undertaking, made more perilous by a traitor in their midst, neither realizes they have also come across a secret of monumental proportions: the plans for Hitler's atomic bomb.

From the Author:
Surely one of the greatest pieces of luck in World War II was that the Germans never got the atom bomb. I say "luck" because German scientists were hard at work on one, as revealed in the famous conversation between German Nobelist Werner Heisenberg and Danish Nobelist Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. Germany also had the wherewithal, in the form of genius (the Germans were the first to split the atom) and resources (they controlled most of the world's supply of heavy water and uranium). So why didn't Germany get the bomb? Some surmise that German scientists had moral qualms, others say an atom bomb could not be completed in the time frame demanded by Hitler. In "The Devil's Alchemists," a visionary Nazi scientist finds a way around both of these obstacles.
