Goodnight from Berlin

About this book

With the weight of history and the promise of peace hanging in the balance, Edward and his men discover that sometimes the most perilous battles come after the war is won.A gripping tale of moral courage in the shadow of victory—where the end of war begins history's most perilous reckoning. With Hitler's suicide marking the end of the Third Reich and chaos consuming a shattered Germany, Captain Edward Hume continues to lead his bomb disposal squad—The Kaboom Boys—through the deadly aftermath of victory. What began as a coal miner's son seeking adventure far from Pennsylvania has become a mission to save lives in a world still bristling with unexploded ordnance and Nazi "werewolf" fighters who refuse to surrender. Their work grows deadlier each day—while other soldiers celebrate, Hume's men face booby traps and ticking bombs left behind by a crumbling Reich. Then comes the mission that will define them all: Hume is ordered to escort Dr. Ernst Alwin, an evil but brilliant Nazi scientist, now a prisoner, who spent the war designing weapons specifically to kill Allied bomb disposal experts, across war-torn Europe to America. Racing through a landscape of devastation with the very man who tried to kill soldiers like him, Hume confronts impossible choices. His best friend faces accusations of treason at Dachau. The Nuremberg Trials demand his testimony about the horrors he's witnessed. And somewhere in the chaos, an Army nurse from Normandy waits for his return—if he survives the gauntlet ahead.
