There’s an old Army saying: “Never volunteer for anything.” But Steven Carter did, and it changed the course of his life forever. From the icy wilderness of Nazi-occupied Norway to the treacherous alleyways of the Channel Islands, and finally the blood-soaked cliffs of Normandy, Carter leads his elite team of British Commandos on some of the most dangerous missions of World War II. Whether cut off behind enemy lines, betrayed from within, or climbing into the teeth of German artillery, Carter never backs down.

England is deep in the coldest winter anyone can remember. It snows every day, temperatures do not rise above freezing for seven weeks, coal cannot get from the pitheads to the power stations, food and fuel are in desperately short supply. More than that, the country's secret services have been penetrated, which means Britain is more vulnerable than ever. And Stalin knows it. He decides it is time to send his master of 'Special Tasks' to create a little extra chaos.
