1963. In the final book of the Cold War Chronicles, President Kennedy schedules a trip to Berlin to mark the anniversary of the Airlift and reaffirm the US's commitment to the divided city. A week before the visit, the 513th Intelligence Group discovers a journal belonging to a member of the Jungdo, a right-wing East German organization, and written in an obscure code devised by Crusaders traveling to Jerusalem in the 11th Century. The journal exalts Arminius, a warrior who drove the Romans from Germania in a historic battle in 18 AD and prophesizes his rebirth in the 20th Century to liberate allied-occupied Germany. The 513th's Washington, Waters and Stevens enlist the help of a GRU Russian agent, and begin a frantic race against the clock to decipher the Crusader's code and stop the Jungdo from fulfilling The Roman Prophecy.
