Norway, 1940: One small force stands before the Nazi Blitzkrieg
The few remaining British troops retreat in the fact of a remorseless German advance. For Sergeant Jack Tanner and his stranded patrol, it is a desperate rearguard action.
With the odds stacked against them and the temperature dropping fast, they are not only fighting for their lives, but also to protect a mysterious Norwegian professor in whose hands lies the outcome of the war.
To survive, Tanner must outfox and outfight the pursuing Nazis who are desperate for the secrets the Norwegian holds. They will stop at nothing to secure them. . .
Jack Tanner's adventures continue in Darkest Hour.
The new, sweeping World War II book from James Holland, THE SAVAGE STORM, is available for pre-order now.
