After completing a treacherous mission in occupied France in April 1941, Michael Fernsby, a decorated British officer, is on the run from both the Wehrmacht and an elite commando team from Berlin. Complicating his escape, Michael is unable to leave behind three women from the Resistance; of whom, one is his fiancee, and another is severely wounded. With rewards posted across the country, roadblocks everywhere, and French citizens fearing reprisals if they offer help, Michael faces enormous obstacles as his small group attempts to escape the clutches of their Nazi pursuers.
Despite its 585-pages, I read this book in a day…as it was a surprisingly fast read and nearly impossible to put down. Given Michael’s ingenuity and skills behind enemy lines, one can easily imagine a young Clint Eastwood playing this role in a movie. For that matter, while there are several battles with their pursuers, the bulk of the story involved a great deal of human emotion…including everything from grief, fear, and anguish to hope, love, and determination. For anyone who enjoy historical fiction involving WWII, Somport and the other books from the series are a must-read.

Another fabulous book with another cliffhanger
Thank-you for this installment of the Fernsby’s war. I hope the next one comes soon. I re-read book 8 before starting this one because I knew I needed to put them together.

Unputdownable. You were part of the group from the start. Feeling their pain,their hunger, their determination -everything.
Please don't let it be too long before the next book.
