May 1945. Berlin has fallen. The world celebrates the end of the war—and the reported death of Adolf Hitler.
But one young Jewish survivor swears she saw him alive.
Second Lieutenant Cy Jacobson, fresh from West Point and untested in real combat, is ordered to investigate a hidden Nazi tunnel complex buried beneath the Austrian hills. There, he meets Rachel Cohen, an eighteen-year-old survivor whose courage defies her frail frame—and whose eyewitness claim could rewrite history.
If she’s telling the truth, the war isn’t over.
As whispers spread through Allied intelligence that Hitler may have escaped Berlin, a covert unit is formed and dispatched across a shattered Europe. Their mission is simple to state but nearly impossible to find the truth—and stop what comes next.
From the ruins of Berlin to secret mountain strongholds and shadowed routes into South America, Orion Six is a relentless WWII thriller of pursuit, conspiracy, and the race to prevent a second catastrophe.
For readers of historical suspense, military intrigue, and high-stakes espionage, Orion Six asks the question history never fully
What if the war was over… but the most dangerous mission had just begun?
I live in Alabama. Yes, I know. Stereotypes abound about the south in general and Alabama in particular. Some are true. Some are not. I graduated from Auburn University and then attended law school at The University of Alabama. There’s a big football rivalry between the two schools you may have heard about. It’s a major thing down here.
For almost thirty years I practiced law all over the state. No need to bore you with that, except for the fact that my job allowed me to meet real-life characters of all types. Some good. Some bad. And some were just plain outlandish. Not surprisingly, I often develop characters based on the interesting people I met through the years.
I’m still a lawyer, at least technically. But now I’m doing something I truly love – writing. As an attorney, I wrote all the time. Mostly, mind-numbingly detailed legal motions and briefs and such. Now, I can write what I want.
I have an awesome wife who puts up with my eccentricities ¬– writing late into the night or hanging out in the garage fiddling with old cars. She is a lawyer too, but a much better one than I ever was and beautiful to boot. I’m a lucky guy. I hope you enjoy the books!
