Göring's Gamble

By Dan O'Rourke

England, 1940. Following Dunkirk, it is only a question of when Hitler will invade, not if. Hermann Goering convinces him to prepare for possible failure, but he has a back up plan: an atomic bomb. As big as a Panzer tank, the A-bomb can't be delivered by air. Or can it? As they plot to deliver it, only a keenly observant Yeats scholar, her blind physicist son, and his golden retriever guide dog stand between London and atomic doom.Goering's Gamble is their story, and Maggie Brooke is an unforgettable heroine. As one of Oxford's first female dons, Maggie is used to male skepticism and knows how to remain tenacious, playful, and fiercely intelligent in its face. What she isn't used to are car chases, midnight exhumations, and shootouts in Westminster Abby, but her quick thinking and pluck not only help her to survive, but to give Winston Churchill a good dressing down.
