Ascension Series, Book 2: Maelstrom A Novel of Nazi Germany by Max Overton
Before he fully realized the diabolical cruelties of the National Socialist German Worker's Party, Konrad Wengler had committed atrocities against his own people, the Jews, out of fear of both his faith and his heritage. But after he witnesses firsthand the concentration camps, the corruption, the inhuman malevolence of the Nazi war machine and the propaganda aimed at annihilating an entire race, he knows he must find a way to turn the tide and become the savior his people desperately need.
He survived the death squads. Now he must survive the truth.
Konrad Wengler is living a lie--an SS officer hiding his Jewish ancestry and drowning in guilt over the lives he helped destroy. Tormented by nightmares and desperate to atone, he turns his attention to exposing Heinz Falk, a corrupt Nazi official whose crimes against Jews and Germans alike go unpunished.
But in a regime where justice is treason, every step Konrad takes draws him closer to exposure--and execution. His enemies are many, and even his allies carry secrets that could destroy them all.
As war rages across Europe, one man risks everything to stand for what's right--even if it costs him the last shreds of his soul.
