  <default_description>1944-As Allied troops prepare for D-Day, two men are sent to infiltrate the secret Nazi concentration camp where a deadly nerve gas is being perfected on human subjects. Their only objective: destroy all traces of the gas and the men who created it-no matter how many lives may be lost. Including their own... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &quot;On fire with suspense.&quot; (Stephen King) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &quot;A swift historical thriller [that] vaporizes almost every clich&#233; about the limits of the genre...good enough to read twice.&quot; (&lt;i&gt;Kirkus Reviews&lt;/i&gt;, starred review) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &quot;Action-packed yet thoughtful, unusually resonant and gripping.&quot; (&lt;i&gt;Publishers Weekly&lt;/i&gt;) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; </default_description>
