Synopsis: Berlin, 1936. The Nazis are beginning their diabolical plans for conquest. And three prisoners of the Third Reich will be forced to help them. For Rafe Springer, explorer and adventurer to the unknown, reporter Bill Forsyth and British professor Melbourne Shrewsbury are about to be commandeered for an incredible expedition into the frozen heart of Greenland. Their combined knowledge, skills, and guts make them the perfect guides for their mission: to capture the legendary spear of Odin. The three must not only battle ice storms and SS guards but also the fabled - and deadly - creatures of Norse mythology. (adapted rom the back cover of the first edition)
