The summer of 1945. Hitler has committed suicide. The Nazi Third Reich has surrendered and Europe celebrates the end of World War II. America now turns it full attention to its invasion plans for the Japanese homeland, and the atomic arms race begins. Council of Foreign Relations director Jack Hawk receives a telegram that disturbs him greatly: a mysterious and secret submarine rendezvous between Germany and Japan has taken place in the South China Sea, long after the Nazi submarine should have surrendered. Furthermore, the cargo traded-an unfathomable amount of ancient Jewish gold, an unidentifiable radioactive crate, and, inexplicably, an abducted Egyptian woman named Eteye Azeb-doesn't add up. As Jack attempts to put the pieces together, he encounters suspicious resistance planted by powerful sources. As the mysterious Japanese submarine embarks on its final, one-way mission to bring America to its knees and thwart the American invasion plans; Eteye and two Nazi officers find themselves stranded on the underwater boat. As the mysterious Egyptian woman wrestles with her own past, she discovers Hitler's true intentions-an ongoing quest for King Solomon's lost treasure. Millenniums old secrets and ancient civilizations are cryptically revealed. Slowly, she comes to realize that her shadowy past has brought her to this moment for such a time as this.
