Allied bombers have flattened the secret base that housed the Amerika Bomber project, destroying both the infrastructures and the prototype flying wing that was to annihilate New York City. They did not, however, manage to kill either Anna Reitsch or Max/Werner. Much to the latter’s horror, though, it turns out there is a second prototype – and the operation is still a go. Meanwhile, Americans and Soviets begin a frantic race to get their hands on the best German rocket and nuclear scientists …

Two more volumes to come so I hope I am still alive to review them in 2024 and 2025 😄 But in all honesty I was not that invested in the story any more after four years! Seriously, I had to double check that and I was sure that this series had ended. Unless you can make plans to prevent long delays between books then as a publisher you will lose readers whether it is your fault (doubt it with Cinebook) or unexpected reasons.
I read through the book having no clue what was going on at the start but once things became clearer this was a very good story with good characterisation and a build up that was paced well. The art is superb as is the colouring and as for the hardware from the Komet jet to almost everything else it looked spot on. The uniforms and clothing were also rendered well.
This was a good read in itself but I really did not want to go back and re-read 1-3 after all of this time. I have 15 new books to review after all! I would recommend it and you can order 1-4 via Cinebooks website -link above. I hope that the company gets back to schedule and nothing else interrupts things!
