The Complete Partisans Series Books 1-4
Four action-packed tales of one man's survival on the Eastern front in the heat of World War Two.
When Captain Tony Davis is forced to flee the British Embassy in Yugoslavia after the German invasion, he doesn’t expect to become the hero of Tito’s Nazi resistance fighters — The Partisans.
In this 4-book box set:
BOOK 1: PARTISAN
1941. Nazi forces have invaded Yugoslavia and British Embassy staff are forced to flee the country. But Captain Tony Davis, one of the military attachés, is separated from his comrades. His only escape is into the mountains with the other refugees. There he encounters the Partisans, a Nazi resistance group led by Josip Broz, nicknamed Tito. Davis’s fighting ability quickly turns him into a legend. But his survival relies on securing his place within the group, because the German enemy is never far behind . . .
BOOK 2: MURDER’S ART
Autumn, 1941. General von Blintoft, a decorated veteran, arrives in Belgrade to assume command of the German forces. His orders — to pacify the country. But when his wife is killed by a bullet meant for him, von Blintoft is consumed by vengeance. He finds out the assassination was ordered by legendary British officer, Tony Davis. Von Blintoft orders an attack on the Partisans’ stronghold and Davis must scramble his troops to fight against the unexpected assault. Can Davis protect the Partisans from one Nazi’s personal revenge?
BOOK 3: BATTLEGROUND
Spring, 1942. The Nazi forces are marching across Yugoslavia in a mission to establish total control. The German troops are determined to destroy Tito’s Partisans once and for all. Most of Tito’s resistance forces flee into the mountains, but Captain Davis remains. He is chosen to lead an elite squad to attack and disrupt Nazi communications. But his dangerous mission ultimately leads him towards a showdown with an old enemy, SS General Fritz Wasserman. And only one will come out victorious . . .
BOOK 4: THE KILLING GROUND
Spring, 1943. The Partisans are successfully undermining Nazi control and the Germans vow to finally destroy them for good. Leading the charge is Tony’s old enemy, SS General Wassermann, who is determined for revenge after their last encounter. Wassermann’s offensive drives the Partisans into retreat. But the tide of war is about to turn, and the rearmed and reinforced Partisans have the might of the Russian army behind them.

SOME WHAT PREDICTABLE
I found the character development good & enjoyable. Some accuracy suffered, for instance thru out the book the “Tommy gun” was mentioned over & over. Since the partisans had to use captured weapons, the weapon available would have been the German MP 40 a 9mm submachinegun rather than the US 45 cal. Tommy Gun.
