Book description

A gripping tale of moral courage in the shadow of victory—where the end of war begins history’s most perilous reckoning.

With Hitler's suicide marking the end of the Third Reich and chaos consuming a shattered Germany, Captain Edward Hume continues to lead his bomb disposal squad—The Kaboom Boys—through the deadly aftermath of victory. What began as a coal miner's son seeking adventure far from Pennsylvania has become a mission to save lives in a world still bristling with unexploded ordnance and Nazi "werewolf" fighters who refuse to surrender.

Their work grows deadlier each day—while other soldiers celebrate, Hume's men face booby traps and ticking bombs left behind by a crumbling Reich.
