A series of two graphic novels set during World War II, following the adventure of Boris Pash, an Assassin trying to neutralize a deadly weapon: Die Glocke.
In April 1939, Nazi Germany races against the Allies to build the first nuclear bomb, which could be decisive for the future of the conflict. Soon, Colonel Boris Pash, a member of the Brotherhood of Assassins, discovers that the Nazi mission is only a decoy to divert the attention of the Allies. In reality, Hitler never believed in atomic weapons. He was looking for a much greater striking power, thanks in particular to a mysterious weapon: Die Glocke.
To stop him, Boris Pash will send an Assassin, Eddie Gorm. Of English origin, former leader of a dockers' gang, Eddie has a very simple mission: to neutralize the advance of Die Glocke. From the Templars' plan to Tesla's quantum teleportation and Nazi ideology, Eddie Gorm will quickly understand that a secret war, far beyond his reality, is being played out in 1943!
