THE FALCONER'S RUN: No one is safe...
The code name is Task Force Falcon Hunt, the assassination of select German SS and Gestapo operatives whose hands are red with the blood of the Holocaust and the Jewish Final Solution. This is the never told story of an undercover OSS soldier during three months in the summer of 1944. He is the first American with boots on the ground at Omaha Beach, landing two days before the D-Day invasion. His name is (strath-all-bin) Strathalbyn van Zandt, and he ponders one goal and one goal only. It is the payback called revenge.
THE FALCONER’S RUN saw its first page in December 2020 and now you have the chance to receive the finished novel, 450 pages that will keep you in the suspense of wanting to know what is going to happen next. The story will beguile your sense of adventure and entice your curiosity to keep turning the page. The story develops in the years preceding World War 2 and reaches a climax in September 1944. You will feel the captivation of seeing young Strathalbyn van Zandt, the FALCONER, develop into the young man who is destined for a special place in the narrative of one of the most unique and special clandestine operations in Europe during WW2.
You will meet his mentor Francis ‘Dewey’ Mundwiller, a rapport that begins on a rocky road of mistrust and develops into something solid, the professional relationship they will need to survive, if they can survive at all.
You will endure the pressure that builds when German Gestapo SS Oberst Baldwin Burkhardt decides that he must capture the two rogue agents as they make their RUN through Europe to do what they must - the assassination of key members of the German High Command whose hands run red with the blood of the Holocaust and the murder of so many Jews. You will feel the luck of retrieving the unconditional support of the talented undercover operative, the brave and beautiful American, Virginia Hall, whose patriotic belief in what she does is only out done by the unique way she can do it.
There is the heroic resistance fighter from Krakow, Witold Pilecki, a man who never sees a barrier or situation that cannot be overcome, especially if it means the dispatch of Gestapo and SS thugs in his beloved Poland.
Add in the aura of these personalities the desperation of Frau Gerda Moller; the organizing skill of Garland Williams; the leadership of Bill Donovan; the focus of spy trainer “Dangerous Dan” Fairbairn at the secret Camp X in Canada; the grit and determination of German SS infantry commander Baret Kleinmann along with Kriegsmarine S-Boat Captain Conrad Gustav and SS rifleman Oberschutze Klaus Becker; all of whom will face a battle for their lives on a lonely beach in Denmark called the Skagen’s Tip.
These things and more awaits every reader who decides to make this trip and experience the adventure.
