Alex DeRiemer looked down at the report and rubbed his eyes bitterly. He had worked for MI6, spying on Germany, Italy and Japan, but he hadn’t really focused on the business of enemy intelligence activities within Britain itself. That was the responsibility of MI5, but at Churchill’s orders, he was making an overview of the situation… and it astonished him. There were too many ways for the Germans to get someone into the country, and while most of the German spy networks had been wiped out in 1939 and again a week ago, there might well be others — were others, if the report from Germany was to be believed.

He re-read the message from Germany again. Himmler had a source, someone fairly high up in the British establishment, maybe more than one. He was keeping those details to himself but the British now knew that he was out there. For all DeRiemer knew, the agent might be someone who only supported Himmler’s operations and didn’t have any major role within the British establishment.

He shook his head. It would have to go to MI5, who would put together an investigative team that would discover who the spy was and what they’d sent back to Berlin, before it was too late. If the spy was a deep-cover agent, he or she could be anyone from the director of a government department to one of the cleaners, someone with much more access than anyone understood, or suspected. If…

If the spy had known anything about the Omega Project, they might have warned Germany that certain aspect of science that were considered Jewish were far more important than they had guessed, and if that happened, with all the German technical skill and the vast resources of the Reich focused on the problem…

The war might be within shouting distance of being lost.
