A former client dubbed him the Collector. For the right price, he will murder, kidnap or collect whatever his client wants. His reputation is unmatched. He never fails.
In Israel, a scientist makes a monumental scientific breakthrough. When it becomes public, it will cause an upheaval in the scientific community, chaos in world financial systems, and a seismic shift in global power. The Collector’s new assignment – secure the formula. Unable to access it from the research facility’s computers, he destroys the laboratory and kidnaps the scientist.
Two days later Eric Burns, a skilled Mossad agent, receives a package from his uncle, the scientist. It holds password-protected flash drives containing the files to reproduce the breakthrough, and a clue to the password to open them. When the Collector learns the drives exist, he gives Burns one week to deliver them or he’ll kill his uncle.
The Collector demands proof the drives are real, but Burns can’t comply. He doesn’t know the clue to unlock them. With the clock ticking, Burns travels to Switzerland, Mexico and the United States, racing to rescue his uncle before the deadline. With help from an F.B.I. agent, he learns the Collector is not his only problem. Others want the drives and will do anything to get them . . . including killing Burns.
It’s 1948, and a second holocaust looms on the horizon. Five Arab countries publicly vow to annihilate the virtually unarmed 600,000 Jews living in Palestine when Israel declares itself a State.
Mike Kaplan and Paul Shatz are determined this will not happen. With a few surplus cargo planes, and a volunteer crew to fly them, risking fines, imprisonment, and loss of their U.S. citizenship, they defy a U.S. led arms embargo, and smuggle weapons to the Jews to defend themselves.
And, in the process, this small group of Jewish American World War II airmen create the Israeli Air Force.
At times, the obstacles seem insurmountable.
Told through the eyes of these two fictional characters, this fact based, action packed novel, follows them as they have to outmaneuver an anti-Semitic State Department official who tries to sabotage their mission, at home and abroad; to Czechoslovakia, as they fly dangerous smuggling operations, where planes crash, and pilots die in the process.
You’ll be in the cockpit as these unsung heroes fly heart pounding, life and death combat missions over Israel, where the fate of the newborn State literally lays beneath their wings. Without them, there might not be an Israel.
And it doesn’t end for them after the War. When Shatz and Kaplan return to America, they are put on trial by the government who wants to punish them for what they did. The trial outcome … something no one could have ever predicted.
The book tells you all of this, and a lot more.
