About The American Spy by Scott Wiegmann
The world is at war. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill have already picked a date for over one hundred and fifty thousand Allied soldiers to storm Normandy’s beaches and take the battle to Germany. But the Germans may have a new weapon to stop the invasion dead in its tracks. British Intelligence learned that the Germans were developing rockets to be used for warfare. Information from Polish Resistance and Royal Air Force reconnaissance photos revealed similar information. Finally, recorded conversations between captured German Generals verified it—Germany was close to developing the V2—a rocket that could carry one thousand kilograms of explosives and be fired a distance of 200 miles. If the rockets are launched into the Allies amphibious landing, it is doomed.
Roosevelt and Brigadier General William J. Donovan develop a plan. There may be a German scientist assigned to the project who will cooperate with the Allies. They recruit an American Army officer of German descent to flip the scientist to our side. Lieutenant Mathias Jansen becomes a spy for the Office of Strategic Services and parachutes into Western Poland to stop the development of the rocket. Jansen is a patriot but has a hidden motive for risking his life behind enemy lines. He’s in love with a German woman he hasn’t seen since the War began.
The American Spy (92,000 words) is the story of a spy and saboteur who is hunted by the Gestapo in Germany. It is firmly grounded in the history of World War Two, and will appeal to readers who enjoy history and adventure alike.
