In WW2, the Allies race against time to persuade two nuclear scientists working for the Germans to switch sides.

Toward the end of World War II, the Allied secret service receives a partial message indicating that the Germans are researching nuclear energy to build atomic bombs. In Midwestern University, the scientist Alvah Jesper is called up by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to meet his former colleague Dr. Katerin Lodor in Switzerland and bring her to North America. However, his mission fails and Dr. Lodor is killed by the Nazis but first she informs that Alvah's acquaintance Dr. Giovanni Polda is working for the Nazis in Italy. Dr. Jesper travels to Italy and with the support of the Italian partisans leaded by Pinkie and Gina, he has a meeting with Dr. Polda that is under the surveillance of the Gestapo. The scientist tells him that his daughter Maria had been abducted by the Gestapo and Alvah makes a deal with Dr. Polda, promising to release Maria first and bringing them to North America. While Pinkie travels to rescue Maria, Alvah stays with Gina and they fall in love with each other.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

WWII. The OSS has received incomplete intelligence that the Nazis are in the throes of a nuclear bomb program. Colonel Walsh of the OSS believes that they require someone with more experience in the science to assist in this matter, recruiting his old friend,physicist Dr. Alvah Jesper, who is involved in the Manhattan Project. They discover that two of Jesper's mentors, Drs. Lodor and Polda, are part of two separate teams for the Nazis, they who are probably working against their will. They have to discover what the Nazis are using to force the two to work for them to diffuse the separate situations and bring both back to safety. With Polda, they discover that he is working in Italy, Jesper, teaming with the Italian resistance using a cover of being a scientist from a German institute, who is to be part of the field unit to extract Polda from his situation. In the process, Jesper may encounter two issues for which he is ill-prepared: that he would be involved in typical espionage, including kill or be killed; and that he would fall in love with one of the resistance fighters, a young woman named Gina, though both are aware that their romance will most likely be fleeting because of their work and the war--that is, if they even survive their current mission.—Huggo

Atomic scientist Alvah Jesper is drafted into the OSS, a secret organization created by the administration of President Roosevelt to obtain German scientific developments. Jasper travels first to Switzerland and then to Italy, where he meets with the leader of the resistance, the beautiful Gina, who helps persuade the Italian scientist Polda to cooperate with the United States. The deeper Jasper delves into the essence of his new work, the more dangerous his mission becomes.—Tango Papa

Near the end of World War II, the Allies must find out how much the Axis knows about building atomic bombs. The OSS recruits a physicist, Alvah Jesper, to reach his former colleague, Katerin Lodor, now in Switzerland, and bring her out for debriefing. He reaches her, but a German agent is quickly onto him, and Lodor dies. Jesper must now get into Italy, go underground with the help of Gina, a resistance leader, and convince Polda, a physicist there, to leave with him. Polda won't go until his daughter is rescued from German detention. As Jesper's pal Pinky works on rescuing Polda's daughter and as time for escape runs down, Jesper and Gina fall in love.—<[email protected]>
