[Read by Pete Larkin]A true-life tale of German espionage and terror on American soil during World War I, and the NYPD Inspector who helped uncover the plot -- and is the basis for the film to be produced by and starring Bradley Cooper. -- Dark Invasion tells the remarkable true story of New York Police Department Tom Tunney and his pivotal role in discovering, and delivering to justice, a ruthless ring of German terrorists determined to annihilate the United States. Howard Blum's gritty, energetic narrative follows the German spies -- with Tunney hot on their heels -- from the streets, harbors, and warehouses of New York City to the steps of the US Capitol. The breathtaking efforts to unravel the extent of the German plot and close in on its perpetrators are revealed in this riveting account of America's first encounter with a national security threat unlike any other -- the threat of terrorism -- that is more relevant now than ever.
