Distant Thunder: The Novel Book

What would have been the consequences for the free world had the USA not entered the Second World War? In 1942, at the height of Nazi domination of Europe, members of the German High Command, realising the dangerous threat from across the Atlantic, devise a plan to keep American forces out of the European Theatre of War.. A test film of a planned attack on the USA is made, demonstrating massive destruction and extensive civilian casualties. Rejecting it because it would prohibit a subsequent peace settlement with America, the planners switch to an economic target. An attack on a strategic US installation is put into operation. An assault group is formed, led by Richard Schneider, a German-American, who having returned to the Fatherland in 1933, begins to harbour doubts about the integrity of the Nazi regime. A series of far-reaching action events develop as they carry out the attack - culminating in a bizarre twist in the story as the protagonists' scepticism about the Nazis corkscrews into absolute denial - and `Distant Thunder' finally reaches its dramatic climax.Read More
