In the ashes of Nazi Germany, a legendary SS commando and a cold-blooded spymaster join forces to rebuild power from exile. The only ones standing in their way: a fading American intelligence unit with one last mission — stop the Fourth Reich before it rises.

SYNOPSIS:

The war is over — but in the shadows of Europe, a new one has already begun.

Hitler’s infamous commando, Otto Skorzeny, has disappeared into Franco’s Spain. There, under the guise of rebuilding Europe’s shattered stability, he assembles a brotherhood of ex-SS officers, mercenaries, and smugglers. But his true goal is far more dangerous: a silent resurrection of German influence, coordinated with ex-FHO spymaster Reinhard Gehlen — now quietly working with the CIA.

Only one group sees the threat for what it is: the U.S. Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). Led by hard-bitten veterans with no illusions left, the CIC launches a covert operation — not just to infiltrate Skorzeny’s network, but to expose the postwar pacts that turned enemies into allies, and monsters into assets.

Skorzeny’s Gambit is a Cold War noir thriller about the lies that built the postwar order — and the men who saw through them too late.

In the world Skorzeny imagines, ideology is dead. Power is all that remains.
