New Beginnings : A Hogan\'s Heroes Story
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Take the characters from the 1960's hit sitcom, Hogan's Heroes, and find out what happens when those we trust may be the enemy and those we fear may be friends. It is World War II and both the Axis and the Allied powers believe the other to be further advanced in biological warfare. Need-to-know prevails on both sides. Colonel Alistair Wembley, an operative for British secret intelligence Service, and his OSS counterpart, Mike Anders, read a cryptic message from an agent: the Germans are threatening biological warfare. They send in Colonel Robert Hogan-code name: Goldilocks-to find the truth. The agent is a traitor. Hogan is captured and interrogated by Gestapo agent Emil Gottfried, a psychopath and sadist. German-American Mike Anders volunteers to parachute into Germany and save Hogan. Anders enlists the aid of Kurt Schell, an expert on tetrodotoxin, a poison that alters respiratory and cardiac functions, giving one the appearance of being dead. Can Anders be trusted? When those in power make decisions, do they differentiate between right and wrong?
