“In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” — Winston S. Churchill.

9 May, 1944:  Eisenhower and other Allied chiefs have succeeded in convincing the Nazis that the invasion of Europe will come at the Pas-de-Calais (Straits of Dover).

When Lieutenant-General Charles McKinney is captured after his plane is downed in the sea off the west coast of England, however, the most closely-held secret of the war is in danger of falling into German hands, threatening the success of Operation Overlord, the forthcoming assault on Normandy.

For McKinney is one of a select few who knows where the Allied invasion will take place … and when. He is taken to a Nazi stronghold where the Gestapo’s top agent aims to extract the truth — by whatever means necessary.

Sergeant Jack Steele, an ex-US Ranger seconded to British 6 Commando, is tasked with rescuing McKinney before that can happen. He and his team join forces with SOE agents and members of the French Resistance and put together an audacious plan to liberate the general.

But their quest is fraught with danger. The Nazis have a double-agent close to the team whose only objective is to thwart Steele’s mission.

Will the commandos succeed? Or will the Nazis discover Normandy is the real target, and deploy enough forces in time to halt the invasion?

Fast-paced, with unrelenting action and suspense from start to finish, ‘A Storm of Eagles’ is the ultimate World War II adventure story.
