The Scarlet Impostor

7 Sep 1939 - 8 Nov 1939
The Scarlet Impostor is the first of seven volumes incorporating the principal events that occurred between September, 1939, and May, 1945. The series follows the activities of Gregory Sallust, one of the most notorious Secret Agents ever created in fiction about the Second World War.

When Gregory Sallust landed in Germany early in 1940 his task was to contact an anti-Nazi organization ready to overthrow Hitler and sue for peace. Masquerading first as a German General, and then as an SS Gruppenführer, the extreme danger and difficulty with which he was faced made him doubt that he would ever escape from Germany again, surrounded as he was by some of the most vicious and determined Nazis of the Third Reich.
