Overview: 1938. In Germany, Nazism reaches a fever pitch. Rumors of war spread across the continent of Europe. In the calm before the storm, Adolf Hitler searches for a shortcut in his plans for world domination and looks to Hollywood. He sends his agents across the Atlantic to the celluloid capital of sin and glamour, on the trail of an all-powerful secret weapon.
Los Angeles. Cliff Secord is a barnstorming air-race pilot. He makes his living by living dangerously and is happiest when he’s shattering air speed records and riding the contrail edge of disaster. After thugs destroy his prized GeeBee race plane during an FBI gun battle, Secord finds himself out of work, out of luck and hung out to dry. For someone has saddled him with the most dangerous weapon of the war, the Cirrus X-3 rocket pack, a flying device faster and more dangerous than any Secord has ever encountered. Now he and his starlet girlfriend are on the run, one step ahead of gangster mercenaries, federal agents and Nazi assassins, who prowl the city looking for America’s most reluctant hero.
Men have died for this weapon. Cliff Secord is next in line.
