PRESS RELEASE FOR ISLAND OF STEEL BY PETER TONG. A WWII HEROIC ADVENTURE NOVEL SET ON GUERNSEY.
It could be the most outrageous bunch of heroes you've ever met: fearless American airman Curtis Olson; reckless RAF pilot Hartley-Penrose; two merciless Resistance fighters, Claude and knife-wielding Marie-Claire; gruff, tough commando Sam Haines; and bi-polar spymaster Eric Baker. All stranded on the heavily fortified island of Guernsey - and all desperate to escape.
But Operation Hawkwind orders them to kidnap a visiting high-ranking German officer, whose capture will drastically change the course of the war. Yet they only have 24 hours before he leaves. So now these reluctant heroes - even more reluctant when they discover the officer’s identity - are forced into a critical race against the clock as they try to get to the closely guarded VIP. Their chances of kidnapping him and escaping with their lives grow slim as the hours flash by. Eventually, after numerous failed attempts, they meet up in a suicidal confrontation.
But a new revelation changes everything.
Island of Steel is now out as an ebook with a paper version, a pbook, to be released before Christmas. It is the first of a series, the second, Beaches of Blood, has the heroes chasing a double agent across France who carries stolen plans of the D-day invasion.
