Synopsis
"Germany, 1944: The Hurtgen Forest is a killing field. But there is something worse than the enemy in the shadows: an ancient power is waiting to be unleashed upon those who oppose the Third Reich -- and then the world. World War II hero Jack "Grim Reaper" Chambers survived the war, but he still has nightmares about Hurtgen -- and the unholy horrors he battled there. Now, he is determined to reveal the truth behind his platoon's massacre. His grandson, Sean, is given the task of carrying Jack's message. But Sean's quest pulls him into a deadly race against those who wish to bury the truth forever -- and those who wish to use it to unleash hell on earth"--Page 4 of cover.
