Book description
May 1940. Sergeant Jack Tanner has been posted to a
training company on the south-east coast of England where the
mysterious deaths of two Polish refugees lead him to believe there has
been foul play.
As the Germans launch their Blitzkrieg in Europe, the entire company
are sent to join the battle to stop Hitler's drive across the Low
Countries. Pitted against the die-hard Nazis of the SS 'Death's Head'
Division and the great panzer commander, General Rommel himself, it is
left to Tanner to get his men back to Allied lines.
But if they are to have any hope of surviving the mayhem of Dunkirk,
Tanner must first deal with an enemy far more deadly than the Germans...
James Holland is an acclaimed historian and has been studying and
writing about the Second World War for the past ten years. As a fan of
historical fiction - and that includes Commando comics - it struck him
that there was no Hornblower or Sharpe of World War II and so he
decided to write about such a man himself. So was born Jack Tanner.
James lives in the beautiful Chalke Valley near Salisbury in
Wiltshire, with his wife, son, daughter, dog and chickens. To find out
