Book
V2 : a novel of World War II / Robert Harris.
A World War II German rocket engineer under orders to launch V2 rockets at London from Occupied Holland and an actress-turned-English intelligence officer with a mission to neutralize the bombings land on opposite sides in a desperate hunt for a saboteur.
It's November 1944--Willi Graf, a German rocket engineer, is launching Nazi Germany's V2 rockets at London from Occupied Holland. Kay Connolly, once an actress, now a young English Intelligence officer, ships out for Belgium to locate the launch sites and neutralize the threat. But when rumors of a defector circulate through the German ranks, Graf becomes a suspect. Unknown to each other, Graf and Connolly find themselves on opposite sides in the hunt for the saboteur. Their twin stories play out against the background of the German missile campaign, one of the most epic and modern but least explored episodes of the Second World War. Their destinies are on a collision course.
