Doubleday, London, 1992, 1^st/1^st.  ISBN 0-385-40300-3.  Hard cover, 493 pages.  Near fine with small upper rear corner bump.  Dust jacket with price intact shows light edge and cover wear, light creases.  Interior clean and unmarked; gently read if at all.  ‘In the dying days of the Second World War many of Germany’s rocket scientists traded their expertise for privileged treatment at the hands of both Russian and American invaders.  For these scientists, bound together in a secret East-West brotherhood known as Die Lucie Geister, the war would never cease until Germany was united once more.  But with Reunification, sinister forces are unleashed. …  Adam Nicholson is ‘resting’, compromised by a careless photograph during an SAS operation in Northern Ireland.  Now he is assigned to provide protection for a threatened German scientist attending a congress in New Orleans.’ (from front flap)
