Fifty years after revealing the secrets of Odessa, an underground organization of former Nazis angling to regain power, Peter Miller is a retired legend in the journalism community. He's spent the last decade caring for his grandson Georg, after the death of his son and daughter in law in a tragic cara accident.
Always suspecting that his own long list of enemies might have been behind his son's death, Peter pulled back from his career to keep Georg safe. But he could do nothing to stop the young man from following in his footsteps, Georg's reputation and renown for fearless journalism growing fast in a digital world.
But Georg Miller is not the only aspect of Peter's past that has thrived. By 2025 Odessa has been replace by Medusa which has reached a level of secret power greater than Odessa ever achieved, its every long-term plan nearing fruition. The subtle rise of the far-right in German politics; the dozens of seemingly unconnected 'patriotic' parties growing across Germany's constituent states and districts; the spike in violence and terrorism against Germany's immigrant population; and the angry reaction of her citizens. All are symptoms of a man-made, hidden danger, fuel for a planned inferno that must be stopped at all costs.
All while, elsewhere, the children of Odessa play for the highest power of all--a seat in the West Wing.
