Rudolf Eineger was left with his finger inside a dead body. Repulsed, he withdrew it and wiped it on the black SS tunic.
Richard Earlgood, maverick RAF fighter pilot, and Michael Dorfmann, an ambitious Luftwaffe double-agent, plan a daring daylight attack on Adolf Hitler using Hurricane fighters, piggy-backing on 4-engine Stirling bombers to reach the almost completed... impregnable... Führer Bunker in this WWII fiction book.
Anna Styles, a Station X decoder, had a romance with Dorfmann at Oxford and is being forced to 'handle' the double-agent. She still loves Dorfmann but she has fallen for Richard too. This single raid to bomb Hitler's Bunker could win the war, but only one man can win Anna's heart.
Most of Hitler's staff simply don't believe such a raid is possible but one ruthless SS officer will stop at nothing to catch Dorfmann and defeat the British.
Men, machines and passions will be stretched to the limits,
in a raid...
that will shape...
History.

This book is the popular first book in my wartime series (December Radio being the second and a third is in final draft form).
During the summer months it is the best-selling of my books. It has a forward by the secretary of the Stirling Project (a charity to build a replica Short Stirling) and is dedicated to the Hollywood Academy Award winning actor Cliff Robertson, who I knew and who inspired the book.
I have a great deal of knowledge of WWII aviation, so lovers of WWII aircraft will really want to read this book.
At precisely 4.15pm, Michael eased back on the throttle and let his Bf 109E settle on her cushion of air. The silver ribbon of the Thames Estuary opened up below and ahead of him, as they emerged from below the cloud that had concealed the three aircraft for the last few miles while crossing the English Channel.
As planned, in the distance ahead of he could see the tiny bursts of flame and drifting smoke of the diversionary attack on West London by Heinkel He 111s. Everything seemed to be going to plan. Above him the glorious afternoon sun beat down in an almost clear blue sky on the Perspex of the cockpit. He twisted in his seat, first to his left and then right, to check Gustav and Joachim were in position behind him. Joachim, to his right waved once and stuck his thumb up, grinning. Michael turned back to look ahead and then took a deep breath.
‘This is it!’ he thought.
From 24,000 feet, he pushed the nose gently forward. As Gunther, his chief-mechanic had warned him, Daisy felt a little sluggish, loaded with 850 kilogrammes of the latest explosive, W-salz, packed in behind the pilot and fuel-tank. To compensate, rather than remove the heavy 20mm engine-cannon as well, they had left it in place. He heard the Daimler-Benz engine revs climb as the shaking needle on the airspeed indicator indicated 480 Km/h, 500, 520...
As the roaring slipstream started to shake the compact fighter the little Donald Duck Anna had given to him before the War started swinging violently from side to side, until its head started hitting the bullet-proof windscreen. He had to reach up and steady it to satisfy some strange inner urge. He pushed away the image of Oxford’s old University buildings framing Anna’s beautiful face, which came into his head unbidden, and focused instead on the image of all three aircraft flying smoothly between the span of Tower Bridge.

Author review: Raimundo was the fastest translator I have ever worked with, completing the first draft in about 2 weeks! He went on to proofread it so thoroughly that he found errors four other editors never found. He is accurate and thoughtful when communicating his ideas to the writer and the main feel of the book to readers. I definitely recommend him. |
