Hitler is dead. A new threat is born . . . The brand new blockbuster from 'the master of the wartime thriller' (FT)

Autumn 1945 - Off the east coast of England, a Japanese sub surfaces, unloads its mysterious cargo, then blows itself to pieces.

Former spy Professor Tom Wilde is enjoying peacetime in Cambridge, settling back into teaching and family life. Until a call from senior MI5 boss Lord Templeman brings him out of retirement.

A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out.

There are rumours the Nazi machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research laboratory. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil - and why?

What's more, Wilde and Templeman's names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot? 20th Century Espionage Historical Historical Fiction Mystery Spies & Politics Thriller & Suspense Fiction Exciting Scary Military Suspense

I’ve listened to each of these books in the series and each one detached further and further from historical reality. Does that matter? No - historical gobbledygook? Yes? Fun - certainly. Hope there’s a book 8
