Eddie Dawson returns in a combustible World War II thriller of bravery and close combat in the fight against Hitler from the author of To Do or Die. Eddie Dawson and Major Sykes are sent to the impregnable Eben Emael in Belgium, the strongest fort in the world. Once there, they witness a group of German soldiers landing on the roof in gliders. This main attack lasts twenty minutes, leaving Eben Emael crippled. But Dawson is disturbed—he has seen the Germans do the impossible: blasting holes through solid twelve-inch steel armor using some kind of new demolition charge. This secret weapon could change everything. They simply must get one. But how? And can they make it through enemy lines, out all the way to Dunkirk and to safety? The second explosive tale of Eddie Dawson’s derring-do in the Second World War, perfect for fans of Iain Gale and Alistair MacLean. Praise for To Do or Die “[An] absorbing story . . . [James Barrington] knows his stuff.” —The Historical Novels Review
