Nordland
A deadly Nazi secret lies buried deep in the Norwegian fjords. The mission to destroy it will push Britain’s best to the edge...
January 1941. The Atlantic convoys are being slaughtered. A new German technology is helping U-boats coordinate with devastating precision, and British Intelligence has just discovered the a secret facility buried in the rock face of a remote Norwegian fjord.
Michael Fernsby and Richard Keene are Britain's finest, the top operatives of the shadowy and elite Unit 317. They must destroy the facility before the next convoy is lost. But reaching it means a deadly journey through the frigid arctic cold of Norway's mountains in the dead of winter.
Cut off from support, flanked by commandos and pursued by German forces, the mission spirals into a desperate fight for survival as the clock runs out.
Meanwhile, in occupied France, resistance broadcaster Mina Postner has gone silent. With the Gestapo closing in, she and her team in Amiens prepare for their most dangerous operation yet. Her broadcasts have made her a target. But it’s her new mission that will change her forever.
From the icy mountains of Norway to the burning fuel yards of France, Nordland is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the razor-thin line between victory and defeat. Perfect for readers of Alan Furst and Ken Follett.
Nordland is the next unforgettable chapter in the Fernsby’s War series...

In the seventh book of this ongoing series, Michael Fernsby leads a small force of a specially trained unit to take out a secret Nazi facility in Norway. J.C. Jarvis, the author, intertwines this story with that of Mina, who works as part of the underground in France, where she is continually on the move to avoid capture by the Gestapo. As with the other novels in the series, Nordland is filled with tension, suspense, and non-stop action. While some of the narrow escapes of the protagonists must be taken with a leap of faith…it is well worth the ride. This is an adrenaline-filled series, and I’m already looking forward to the next installment in 2026.
