- Nov.1959: Bailey makes a difficult choice when the government asks him to go to Germany for an assignment involving a traitor spy.
- Stuart is approached by two old colleagues, government agent Jim Beck and preeminent former German rocket scientist Kurt Von Paulus who was among those convoyed by the Allieds to work for them in 1945, on a matter of national security. One of the men in Stuart's company at the time, Staff Sgt. Tom Handeman, was in charge of locating one of those scientists, August Redding, who he found dead. Tom, who deserted in 1946, apparently stole Redding's plans for a long range missile guidance system, which at the time was not of any use militarily. Handeman, who has come out of hiding in Frankfurt, is willing to sell the now invaluable plans to the US, and will only deal with Stuart in knowing and trusting him. It will be a cloak and dagger operation as Stuart knows Tom will not want to meet in the open, and Stuart has to have the documents authenticated in some way before making final payment. Once in Frankfurt, Stuart finds he has unexpected support on the ground in the form of Maj. George Haney with British Intelligence, and Gerda Nissen, one of Haney's agents who will act as Stuart's point person if he does require any assistance from them. Stuart learns from Gerda that an organization led by Hans Rausche, a former colonel with the Gestapo, is also after the plans and will kill Stuart to get them, Rausche knowing of Stuart being in West Germany. If Stuart discovers the truth, he would learn that Rausche's plan to get the documents is only a means to a different end.—Huggo
