Heinrich Schloss, the Chancellor of the German Reich cannot rest. He successfully surmounts one challenge only to be faced with another. England shuns the peace table. The Jews in Palestine, though thankful for Germany’s support, seek their own self-determination. The United States is wary of a commitment to a cohesive European strategy.

Schloss is threatened by those who would unknowingly expose his past as an alternate Schloss from a parallel universe. The High Command of the German armed forces resist his efforts at reform. And Winston Churchill wants him dead, and is constantly scheming to accomplish that task.

Everywhere Schloss looks, he sees storm clouds on the horizon.
