March 1941. Commodore John Braithwaite, retired British Royal Navy
intelligence agent, leaps at the opportunity to return to the field.
German Military Intelligence (Abwehr) discovers that the American atomic
physicist Dr. Enrico Verdi, will travel to Africa aboard the Egyptian
liner S.S. Zamzam and places an agent aboard hoping that Verdi will
reveal a suspected atomic research facility. J. Edgar Hoover sends FBI
agents to accompany Verdi, but London proposes placing Braithwaite
aboard to watch over the scientist. Though rusty, the Commodore relishes
the return to the field and takes his old code name ANTIMONY. Is he
still up to snuff? Plagued by self-doubts and the troubling sense of a
hovering malignant evil, he travels disguised as an American
businessman. An attempted kidnapping reveals a sinister future for
Verdi. And where are Hoover's missing FBI men? Alone and without
reinforcement, ANTIMONY is unaware of another, far more dangerous enemy
than the clumsy Abwehr agent. ANTIMONY must protect Verdi armed only
with his cunning, courage, wits and keen knowledge of the game as they
cross dangerous Atlantic waters. Based on the actual incidents
surrounding the final voyage of the SS. Zamzam, the historical novel
Resurrection of ANTIMONY launches into the thrilling world of World War
II espionage and intrigue where mission failure has high stakes for the
world order and particularly, the Western democracies.
