The Warsaw Messenger: A Historical WW2 Spy Thriller inspired by true events in Nazi occupied Poland
⭐
ANNA NOWAK IS NOT YOUR ORDINARY SPY
⭐
In Nazi occupied Poland, one woman's courage could turn the tide of war.
If you love WW2 historical fiction with edge-of-your-seat suspense and strong female characters, this is your next must-read. Inspired by a female agent who worked undercover for British Intelligence in Poland during WW2. Told with the authenticity that only comes from meticulous historical research. It's late 1939 and British Intelligence has a problem. There is a shortage of their men on the ground in Nazi-occupied Poland. They need an agent, [preferably a man], who can ski like an Olympian, shoot like a sniper, and blend into Poland without raising suspicion. Enter Anna Nowak, a determined and convincing Polish patriot. Skiing and hiking across the treacherous Tatra mountains to operate undercover in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, Anna soon witnesses unspeakable horrors as she makes contact with a resistance network run by the enigmatic "Baker" and the courageous Greta.
As Anna undertakes increasingly dangerous missions into Poland, the love of her life, who is himself helping Poles escape to fight for the Allies, waits helplessly, knowing each mission could be her last.
Things become complicated. And dangerous. Her Jewish mother refuses to leave Warsaw, an accomplice disappears and the Gestapo is soon hunting for her. When shocking evidence that could change the war’s outcome is entrusted to her by the resistance, she knows she must get the precious microfilm safely to Churchill. Can she get out of Poland one last time?
Or will she be arrested by Fuller, the psychopathic Gestapo officer, before her inevitable torture and execution?
The Warsaw Messenger is a tale of espionage, resistance, and sacrifice and will stay with you long after the final page.
