SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Oct. 16, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terror follows the story of Anton Nagil - son of SS Colonel Otto Nagil, a German war criminal - who grew up admiring his Nazi father, yet fearing him for his brutality. When old SS Nagil met his death, life would take a different turn from the path father had paved for son.
Anton was thirteen years old when he witnessed the event that would change his life forever. He heard his mother's screams and saw that his father was brutally beating her up. As his mother cowered on the floor, he tried to stop the Colonel. His own father lashed at him and continued beating the poor woman. Anton got the pistol and shot him.
After they buried his father, Anton discovered his father's diary, films and other documents about the Nazis. He saw the terror that his father and his comrades had unleashed upon the Jews.
Witness how a brave young man tries to undo the sins his father and his race has committed as he becomes the avenger. Live and relive the terror humanity sets upon its own, from the Nazi killing fields to the American embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania and up to Nagil's police work in Munich, where he solves a crime of an unusual nature.
