    • Těsně před koncem války vzniklo v nacistickém Berlíně za Hitlerovy přítomnosti podivné "bratrstvo" dětí - členů Hitlerjugend. Po válce byly převezeny do Švýcarska a vychovány k nenávisti vůči židům: měli za úkol likvidovat vlivné židy. Jedna z vražd přivede na jejich stopu protizločinecké oddělení OSN (UNACO), které se snaží zločinnou organizaci vypátrat. Kromě nacistů ale stojí proti agentům UNACO i sionisté. Začíná napínavý hon: hrdinové románu po celém světě čelí mnoha nebezpečím, než se podaří uhasit oheň nenávisti doutnající po půl století.
