Europe stands on the brink of war. Adolf Hitler is pushing Poland and waiting to see if England and France will hinder his moves. He thinks not. In fact, the only people who stand in opposition to him are in the special operations unit run by Will Danger. The Family is working against Hitler on two fronts. They are attempting to persuade Jews to leave Warsaw ahead of the anticipated invasion, and the British still wish to use The Family as a sword, though they are unwilling to use force themselves to stop Hitler. Neville Chamberlain has finally put down his foot and given a guarantee to Poland, but is it too little too late to stop war. The Political situation is dynamite, but The Family's personal situations might even be worse. Will Danger is watching his wife Jane as she moves further from the bounds of mortal life and ever close to stepping into eternity. Sean and Stormie, who are leading the operation in Poland have finally announced that Stormie is pregnant. Will Danger and Jane will soon discover that she is also desperately ill, so desperately ill that her life is despaired of. Commander Jahkie Willingham is also fighting personal demons as he tries to come to terms with lost love and the presence of a new wife who has borne him a child. He is tormented by Perlothima's death and his loss might well prove to be the undoing of all The Family has worked to accomplish. So many things teeter on the brink of disaster as the final months of peace wind down to one fateful day - September 1, 1939, the day that the world will change forever unless some force can turn the tide before it is too late.
