About this ebook
After the D-Day Invasion, Allied troops head across France and into Germany. Brigadier Wilson, architect of Operation Hawkwind, is in Normandy with General Montgomery’s army. He has a plan to kidnap Hitler and shorten the war – plus give Hawkwind a higher status and himself a higher rank. But his six Hawkwind Heroes are scattered over the theatre of war. USAAF airman Curtis Olson is flying missions into Germany, RAF pilot Hartley-Penrose flies reconnaissance sorties for the invading troops, British Army Sergeant Haines is back with the Royal Engineers building pontoon bridges, and SOE secret agent Eric Baker is in prison for misconduct. And the two French Resistance fighters, Claude and Marie-Claire are heading for Paris to help in its liberation.
After much searching, Wilson finally contacts them all just before the invasion of Berlin by the Russians. Except for Olson who has survived his bomber’s destruction and hides out in the outskirts of Berlin where he shares a bombed out flat with a German girl. Wilson orders them to sneak into Berlin and find Hitler’s bunker where he controls the war from deep underground. And smuggle him out before the Russians take over the city. This act, they are told, will immediately end the war. But Berlin is in its death throes and they have to avoid both Russian and German forces as well as surviving in a society in collapse. Independently, they infiltrate the complex of the Nazi HQ in the centre of Berlin, in order to gather information about Hitler’s secret bunker.
Olson, meanwhile, as an ally of the invading Russians, joins them as they blast their way into the centre of Berlin. Acting as an interpreter, he is taken to a cellar where his five captured Hawkwind buddies are prisoner. Free, they meet up with their old German assassin friend, Karl Kruger, who is on his mission to try and assassinate Hitler a second time. Together, after numerous dangerous attempts to find Hitler’s Fuhrerbunker, they face even greater dangers getting inside it, and where they have to confront the devil himself - Adolf Hitler. But their mission ends in a way they could not possibly imagine.

Born in Lancashire, England. Began writing at ten-years-old, inspired by school compositions and library-book reading. In those days I wrote Sci-fi stuff (never finished a book as I was always starting a new one), & in mid teens wrote a couple of satirical surreal shorts. But it was in my mid twenties after working in the Australian bush for a mining company and trekking back to the UK across Asia, that I began serious writing. My first published work was about my experiences in Japan for Blackwood's Magazine. Most of my career has been with scripts for radio & TV, screenplays, and stage plays, comedies and thrillers.I wrote and produced my first movie, the cocky little Gobsmacked! about an old bus broken down in the country and how the passengers got on with each other. A vertical learning curve that was fun right from the start. Followed by Mrs H of Baker Street, the stage farce about Sherlock Holmes’ landlady secretly doing her own detective work. Another joyful experience not to be missed.A few years ago I began writing novels (all out as ebooks) starting with the WWII heroic adventure series: Operation Hawkwind. Followed by the light-hearted Victorian crime series: The Detective Ladies of Baker Street, and Secret Agent 253, a WWI romantic spy story. I am currently on with an inspiring 'how to' book called: Never, Never, Never, EVER, Give Up, based on my experiences in achieving success. Next up will be an epic Sci-fi novel.My pastimes are country walking, reading, watching films and plays, enjoying jazz, rock, folk & classical concerts. I am a supporter of the David Lynch Foundation.
