As the fighting sweeps across northern England, Eddie Novak and his friends break all the rules and infiltrate enemy lines to help a desperate comrade reach home and reunite with his young family.
But the once peaceful village has been plagued by criminals and collaborators, men of violence who maim and kill and take whatever they want. Including children.
Now Eddie and the boys must embark on a dangerous rescue mission and journey deep into the heart of a hostile city. Getting there will be hard enough, but if they want to get out alive they’re going to need a miracle.
Elsewhere, in a brutal caliphate prison, Bertie Payne is facing his worst nightmare – death by crucifixion. As the day of his public execution nears, Bertie’s hopes fade. Escape is impossible. Yet in war, nothing is certain.
As the pressure builds, nerves are tested to the limit. A coup in Baghdad threatens to unleash a global nuclear exchange. Harry Beecham has become an unwitting target for a rogue enemy faction, and Governor Spencer has seen the writing on the wall…and it terrifies her.
Every day brings more uncertainty, fear, and death.
On both sides of the frontline, lives hang by the barest of threads.

Without A Doubt, One Of My Favorite Series... Another great book by DC Alden! The Invasion series is a well-thought-out, and well-written series with great characters, lots of action, drama, and pathos. Very realistic scenario (sadly) and kept me reading through to the end (I started and finished within three days) Kept me glued to the pages - Loved it!
This book picked up where the previous one left off and was very action packed. America is helping England reclaim there homeland inch by inch, city by city plus it follows a group of four soldiers on a mission to rescue one of the soldiers daughter along with various other happenings.
If you've read the previous books than this one is a must read, see how the tides of war can change, with just a few decisions, emotional and practical.
Having completed all three books, I really enjoyed the series. The authors background as a soldier and police officer add weight to his descriptions and characters. The plot has many interesting twists and turns and one gets to know and care about the characters. A great read well deserving of five stars. I look forward to reading more from this exciting author.
This volume represents approximately 50%-75% of what is a long novel split into 4. It picks up where the previous one left on, more or less continuing the plot threads from there. It's fast-paced, over the top goodies v baddies with heroes against pantomime villains. As you can guess from the score, it's also very entertaining. On to #4 to continue the story.
It’s been a very enjoyable series and looking forward to the next book. Maybe it’s a bit Ott but it’s fiction and a very good read. Great action and characters and the bad guys are bad and good guys are usually good. Highly recommended.
Gripping continuation of the saga. Dropped right back in with the familiar characters and breath taking story telling. Twists and turns, rollercoaster of relief mixed with sadness. First rate again. Can't wait for more!
