Our take on the Chain of Deceit Book 1: 4th Edition Paperback

Chain of Deceit Book 1 is David A. McIntosh's World War II thriller about a secret mission to carry an untested atomic bomb across the Atlantic, with two extra crates of gold bullion aboard a Liberty ship. The captain has his own plan to end the war, and a black-market ring selling stolen military hardware pulls in Davin Pierce, an ex-Army first sergeant turned Marine insurance investigator. It is the opening of a series that mixes military action with politics, greed and deceit. Readers who like fast, plot-driven WWII suspense with a conspiracy angle are the target; it is a self-published-style series opener rather than a literary war novel, so expect pace over prose.

About the Chain of Deceit Book 1: 4th Edition Paperback

Chain of Deceit Book 1 is a novel by David A. McIntosh, the first book in a series. It opens in the later years of World War II with a secret mission to end the war: dropping the first atomic bomb on Berlin.

The untested bomb has to cross the Atlantic Ocean in secret. Not even the crew or the Marines guarding it know what is in the crates. Two crates hold the bomb, and two more hold gold bullion. The captain of the Liberty ship hates the war and has his own idea of how to end it.

Meanwhile, a group of ruthless men uses the war to run a black-market ring that sells stolen military hardware and supplies. Davin Pierce, an ex-Army first sergeant turned Marine insurance investigator, is sent to find out why military hardware is in a New Orleans warehouse and not at the bottom of the Atlantic, as reported. The series touches on military life, politics, love, hate, greed and deceit.
