| Plot Summary of The Apocalypse Watch |
|---|
"Tremendously exciting if somewhat predictable thriller in which CIA spy Drew Latham infiltrates a neo-Nazi organisation intent on taking over Europe by means of terrorism and also bio-warfare. To complicate matters more, the father of his lover Karen De Vries is a main conspirator. The action moves thick and fast, sweeping across Europe to a very unexpected and surprising climax. Overall, well worth a read, and check out the Hallmark movie adaptation as well!"

"Drew Latham, Special Officer for Consular Operations is trying to find out why his brother was killed after a deep cover mission. To find this out, Drew takes over his brother's identity. Before Drew's brother was killed he had made a list of supporters of a neo-Nazi group that includes high-ranking officials in the U.S. government and its allies. In his search, Drew must try to discover the truth about his bother's death and stop the growing Nazi threat. "
