Car bombs set by a group called Red Hand are going off all over West Germany, killing American, British and German citizens. Red Hand's manifesto reads as if it was copied from Nazi propaganda. Now, just four years after the 1972 Olympics massacre of Israeli athletes and three decades after the Holocaust, the West German government is facing its worst political nightmare: Germans are once again killing Jews - and former Nazis who want to create the Fourth Reich may somehow be involved. The West German police can't find the shadowy members of Red Hand, so the American and British governments decide to act covertly. Josh Haman, part way through an exchange tour with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, joins the team led by his friend and SEAL Team Six member Marty Cabot. The hunt takes their team into East Germany to execute their written orders, which tell them "to find, neutralize and render harmless to the United States and her allies the members of Red Hand." "With Render Harmless , Marc Liebman has confirmed that he is a gifted story-teller. The narrative has multi-faceted and complex plot and it is developed nicely, keeping the reader's interest and working it's way to a tight ending. -- Capt. Michael Field, USN (Ret.) , Wings of Gold Magazine . "Marc Liebman shares a complicated and disturbing story. His storytelling in Render Harmless is a telescopic insight into the horrors of global terrorism before our lives were irrevocably changed by 9/11. Although the book is historical fiction, its truth catapults the reader back into the Cold War that often feels bitterly frigid. Josh Haman, the heroic Navy pilot, will cause your heart to pound and your knees to shake, especially when the fuel hovers on empty on more than one occasion." -- Military Writers Society of America Magnificently malevolent! Render Harmless taps into the nation's latest fascination with the Cold War and the days leading up to our modern era of terrorism. Render Harmless features all the ingredients to keep the reader guessing and the plot moving: Nazis, Russians (Soviet's not today's capitalists), Arab terrorists, and of course, Americans. Prepare for a roller coaster ride that starts with a brutal assassination in a sleepy California town and climaxes in a dark Russian prison cell. Marc Liebman has perfectly fused his years as a combat Naval aviator and as an ad agency executive to create a compelling, dramatic, and page-turning narrative worthy or comparison to Larry Bond, Tom Clancy, and Stephen Coonts.-- Ken Carodine, RADM USN (Ret.) , author of Nuclear Dragon Three decades after WWII ended, Nazis want to create a Fourth Reich and create the West German government's worst political nightmare...   The genesis for  Render Harmless  are the memories of living in Germany in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The country was rebuilding into the economic powerhouse that even today, dominates Europe. Even though many Germans felt guilty about what some called the Hitler nightmare, there were those who still believed in  der Führer  and wanted to return to power.   By the early 1950s, right after West Germany joined NATO, the war crimes trials ended. Not because the Allies ran out of Nazis guilty of atrocities, but because Germany was now our "friend and ally." Continuing with public trials and reminding Germans of Nazi regime was deemed not to be politically astute.   Then there were those on the left, manifest by the terrorists and anarchists of the Red Army Faction and the Baader-Meinhof Gang. They also wanted to overturn the elected Government. Add in the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1976 Olympic Games and you have the backdrop for  Render Harmless.   The plot revolves around the hunt of an anarchist group called Red Hand whose manifesto reads as if it was written by Josef Goebbels or Hitler himself. The leader of Red Hand is the son of an SS officer who is part of a group of Nazis who want to ultimately regain power. Add in a mix of support of Red Hand by the Stasi, East Germany secret police and Fatah, the action wing of the Palestine Liberation Organization and you have the main players.   In  Render Harmless,  you'll get to meet a German paratrooper from WWII who loses his moral compass and an ex-Luftwaffe ace who never lost his love for Adolph Hitler. Chasing them is a former SS-officer who is now a member of the German equivalent of the FBI, the  Bundeskriminalamt.   When Red Hand starts setting of car bombs targeting Jewish owned businesses and U.S. and British bases, Josh Haman is on an exchange tour with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm when he is asked to join a group led by Marty Cabot. Their mission, find the members of Red Hand and render them harmless to the United States and her allies.
