Eagles Over Britain: 2 (The After Dunkirk) by Lee Jackson

Lee Jackson . Unknown Year . English

The saga of the Littlefield family continues with this rich and evocative second installment in the AFTER DUNKIRK series. The Battle of Dunkirk might be finished, but the war isn't over. "...compelling fiction is masterfully woven in with the actual events of Britain’s Darkest Hour.” —John J. Gobbell author of The Last Lieutenant The German Luftwaffe attacks Britain from the skies. With no allies, she stands alone. Her fate hangs in the balance. As the first Axis aircraft streak across English Channel airspace, so begins a battle for the ages; one that will determine the trajectory of the war. Braced for engagement on their individual fronts, the Littlefields plumb the depths of courage and ingenuity to defend their beloved Britain. Fresh from the slaughter of Dunkirk, youngest brother Jeremy is called upon to create a French Resistance network composed of former naval officers. At MI-9 headquarters, Claire Littlefield has devised an intelligence coup that could change the tide of the war. But will it work? Lance, captured and far from home, puts his resiliency and resolve to the test. And frustrated at being sidelined from active combat, Paul is unaware that he is being groomed for a role beyond his imagination. A sweeping story of war filled with intimate, day-to-day details of those closest to danger, EAGLES OVER BRITAIN is a captivating tale of bravery, sacrifice, and one family’s fight to bring Britain to victory. ___________________________ Praise for EAGLES OVER BRITAIN: "A sweeping, wonderfully crafted saga...Jackson has created a masterful, enduring tale." —H.W. "Buzz" Bernard, award-winning author of When Heroes Flew “...intrigue and action galore, but also true and gripping personal depth in this remarkable story of a little explored time and place set during the earliest desperate days of World War II.” —Don Keith, author of the Hunter Killer series and multiple non-fiction works on WWII history "Lee Jackson deftly balances the deeply personal stories of his characters with the action packed story of the Battle of Britain.

Join Jeremy Littlefield as he escapes Dunkirk and then engages in dogfights flying a Spitfire. Watch Paul as he learns of and copes with intrigue at the highest levels in Great Britain and the US. Scheme with Lance as he outthinks tried to evade capture. Will he succeed? And delve into decrypting and analyzing German military messages, anticipating what the enemy will do next. Can this family survive and find themselves intact at the war's end. Of Lee's prior series, The Reluctant Assassin (formerly Curse The Moon) was his first and was published in 8 countries. It follows Atcho, a counter-revolutionary leader in Cuba turned unwilling spy in the U.S. The odds he faces seem overwhelming as he must choose between saving the world from a nuclear holocaust - or his daughter. In Lee’s second book, Rasputin's Legacy, Atcho faces a surreal challenge: he must save the country that enslaved his own or deliver control of the Russian nuclear apparatus into the hands of a maniac. Can he set aside his personal desire for revenge? In his third book, Vortex: Berlin, he battles forces bent on keeping absolute power in the divided German city. Can he stop the massacre intended to terrify increasingly rebellious citizens determined to regain control over their own lives? And in the fifth and final book of the series, he goes after the terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993. Lee lives with his wife in Texas and is a full-time writer.
