    About this ebook

    1944. A new threat is putting the nation on edge. 

    The V-weapons.

    Soon after the D-Day landings, Hitler launches the V-1 flying bomb, bringing death and destruction to England.

    One of the targets is a Camberwell convent. 

    The Reserve Squad, led by colleagues and lovers Tommy Livermore and Suzie Mountford, investigate the suspicious nature of the deaths.

    Feeling strongly connected to the victims at Camberwell Convent, because she was herself taught by nuns at St Helen's school, Suzie is determined to find out the truth. 

    But the team is split when the murder of housewife Doris Butler leads to questions about her marriage and the character of those on the force.

    Doris married at seventeen and continued to see other men while her husband was away at war...

    He was killed four years later by a D2 bomb.

    Nothing conclusive comes to light and the force are at a loss as to who was responsible for Doris' death. 

    With politics, war and secrets clouding the investigations, Tommy and Suzie must uncover the truth before someone else gets hurt.

    Suzie's brother, James, is a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines and has returned home after being injured during a landing at Normandy.

    A threat is made to Winston Churchill's life, and James Mountford is put in place to guard him.

    But has he recovered enough to protect the Prime Minister and the country? 

    And where has this threat come from?

    Things aren't what they first appeared to be and the plot thickens when the history, morals and political tendencies of the Lees-Duncan family in brought into question. 

    Will Suzie be able to identify the enemy?

    No Human Enemy is a gripping WWII thriller from a master story-teller. 

    Praise for John Gardner's work: 

    'Faultless construction and a good deal of narrative pace combine to make this a thoroughly enjoyable read' – Books 

    'A complex but sophisticated and rewarding sequel to The Secret Generations… a third Railton/Farthing saga seems assured and is welcome' – Kirkus Reviews 

    'An exciting spy story' – Yorkshire Post 

    'The suspense is well-portrayed both in the accounts of World War II and in the subsequent cold-war exploits' – Booklist 

    Before coming an author of fiction in the early 1960's, John Gardner was variously a stage magician, a Royal Marine officer and a journalist. In all Gardner has fifty-four novels to his credit, including Maestro, which was the New York Times book of the year. He was also invited by Ian Fleming's literary copyright holders to write a series of continuation James Bond novels, which proved to be so successful that instead of the contracted three books he went on to publish some fourteen titles, including Licence Renewed and Icebreaker. Having lived in the Republic of Ireland, the United States and the UK, John Gardner sadly died in August of 2007 having just completed his third novel in the Moriarty trilogy, Conan Doyle's eponymous villain of the Sherlock Holmes series.
