Synopsis

Erika Lehmann. She is the Nazis' top spy. Code-named Lorelei, she is the English speaking daughter of Hitler's old comrade and a member of the Führer's inner circle. She is beautiful, athletic, and clever--the epitome of Aryan womanhood. She'll stop at nothing to accomplish her mission, including masquerading as a Jew.

Joe Mayer. A prominent American metallurgist working on a top secret project for the U.S. Navy. Mayer holds the secret Erika Lehmann is sent to the United States to steal--a secret that could alter the course of the war.

Axel Ryker. The Gestapo's top henchman. Ryker is Heinrich Himmler's top problem solver, i.e. murderer. As ruthless as he is cunning, Ryker is sent to America with a startling mission--find and kill their own spy, Erika Lehmann.

The year is 1942. In Evansville, Indiana, a Jewish metallurgist named Joseph Mayer is conducting top secret experiments for the U.S. Navy. Life could not be better for Joe Mayer: he loves his job, and he is dating a beautiful, young Jewish woman...

"Highly impressive is Whicker's knowledge of the minutiae of spying at all levels in WW II Germany, Britain, and the USA. With its detailed descriptions, Invitation to Valhalla reminds me of Tom Clancy's Hunt for Red October. Whicker is especially good at portraying the vicious infighting that went on constantly among the Nazi leaders. The suspense grows gradually but inexorably till the very end."
