Description[]
"Bletchley Park, or Station X, was the British estate where a crack team of code breakers assembled to decipher Nazi war messages during WWII. The brilliant minds at Bletchley Park did the unthinkable--they beat the Nazi's Enigma encoder, thought to produce unbreakable code. The information coming out of Bletchley Park was so secret that those involved stayed quiet about it for decades after the war ended. But if the war was over, why so much secrecy? Could it be that there was another kind of spying going on at Bletchley Park? That's right--this has got Lucian written all over it."
