Story Behind The Book
There are two core events that drove the original story: the WWII sinking of the troopship SS Cape San Juan and the development of a sophisticated and secret new radar used by the Army Air Corps to track enemy fighter planes. Added to these was the panic within senior Nazi leaders about the beating they were taking from allied bombers. Thus a Nazi spy is sent to locate and steal the radar secrets and Amos Mead, OSS is detailed to counter the effort.
