1945. The day before Hitler commits suicide, he arranges for Nazi leader Martin Bormann to flee to South America in a German U-boat. 1992. Terrorist Sean Dillon is saved from a Yugoslavian firing squad – if he agrees to help the British government retrieve the long-lost documents of Martin Bormann. The wreck of Bormann’s U-boat has been discovered in the Caribbean, along with a secret list of Nazi sympathizers. The names include high-level citizens from the U.S. and Great Britain – and may implicate the Duke of Windsor himself. The evidence lies in a watertight briefcase on the bottom of the sea. And the desperate search to find it will send shockwaves across the world… “Gripping…believable…fast-paced.” – The Washington Post Book World “A breakneck yarn!” – Kirkus Reviews

"After having read this 18 years ago, I downloaded the audiobook to my iPhone from my local library for a 12-hour road trip. The narrator, Christian Rodska, makes the story come alive with his incredible ability to switch voices, accents and dialects effortlessly. In this the second of a nineteen book series, Sean Dillon, a former IRA gunman is 'persuaded' to work for the British government taking on the task of rescuing highly sensitive documents from a recently discovered WWII U-Boat, and at great risk. As always, Higgins has a knack for making a long drive much shorter with his engaging story lines."

" Just finished a cd of Thunder point in my car. It's the usual Jack Higgins thriller but I do enjoy them. Constant action. Has the usual bad guy who's really a good guy. Lots of vile villains. And Brigadier General Charles Ferguson pulling strings in the background. Thoroughly enjoyed it. "
