At the end of World War II, an American task force investigates a Nazi
project to reanimate the dead and summon strange monsters from other
dimensions. Deranged by their own studies, the Nazi scientists have been
difficult to find, much less talk to. Only the linguist Susan Gilbert has
had any luck getting their cooperation. When it turns out that the biggest,
most horrific experiment of them all has yet to be completed, she ends up
leading the effort to save the world. But she's not a mad genius, not a
secret agent, and not even in the military, and the only man with the
knowledge to help her succeed is her own worst enemy, a remorseless,
manipulative villain hunted by the Allies, the Nazis, and supernatural
monsters alike.
