17 September 1944: The allies launch the largest airborne offensive in history, delivering 36,000 troops by parachute and glider to the Dutch / German Border. In nine days’ time, half of them will be casualties of war. Among their number is Theo Trickey, a young paratrooper so dreadfully injured he is not expected to survive. Under the care of Medical Officer Captain Daniel Garland, Trickey is shipped to Germany as a Prisoner of War. As Garland slowly nurses him back to health, he discovers that there's something unusual about Trickey, starting with a chance meeting Trickey had with Erwin Rommel before the War...©2017 Standing Bear Ltd (P)2017 W.F.

An interesting tale though weaves many story lines together and I found the ending lacklustre.

At first the book seemed to jump around a bit crossing between the two main characters story’s and timelines, but once I settled in it seemed to flow really well.

Normally I listen to a book a week, switching between authors and or series not often listening to the next book up, then falling back to the next in the series a few weeks later. but I felt compelled to read on with this trilogy and finished all 3 back to back in less than a fortnight.

Great start to the trilogy

I will try not to spoil anything for you. But will start of by saying this is a hidden gem! I’ve listened to 100s of Audiobooks and this one blew me away.
If you are looking for a good WW2 Historical Fiction story that is from the perspective of the British and to be more specific,the parachute regiment, then look no further.
The characters are well developed and there is a good amount of action sandwiched between developing plots that gives the story a good pacing. And the story cleverly jumps between two key characters and their own distinct journeys. The narrator was superb and overall the book and the story is so well written, I would be surprised if a series or a film was ever made out of it.
My one regret about this book is that I didn’t find it sooner and the low quantity (not quality) of reviews made me question if this was a decent book and I was blown away. Trust me you will not regret it.

Fantastic story and superb story telling.
