The OSS was the precursor to today's CIA and took on many of the most dangerous missions of World War II. For Captain Scott Abel and his team, this mission will be just about as tough as they come. Tasked with parachuting directly into Germany, Captain Abel, code name "Paul" and his group of OSS agents will find trouble at every turn as they penetrate deep into Nazi-occupied territory on their mission to seek out and destroy the deadliest gas that man has ever created to date.
Steven Jacobs was born in 1971 in Wilmington, North Carolina, and at an early age, he became interested in all aspects of history. He became a history buff by watching old movies with his father that contained great actors such as Cary Grant, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Steve McQueen, and many others. Later in high school, Steven excelled in United States history, especially in the turbulent years of the early to mid-1900s, and this is where his love for military history flourished. By the time Steven was thirty-five years old, he had read countless books on United States history with a focus on the era of World War II. At the age of forty-five, he wrote his first book about the disappearance of a German U-boat in World War II called The Disappearance of U-491. Steven had such a wonderful time writing his first book that he continued writing and, to date, has just finished his fourteenth book. Now, at the age of fifty-three, Steven lives in Columbia, South Carolina, and he has worked for the government for fifteen years.
