Abstract:
Brittany, France, 1941 - Annette Renard leads a double life; a teacher by day and a French Resistance fighter by night. Her group’s exploits include attacking Nazi freight trains, battling enemy patrols, and helping shot-down bomber crews escape to England. But Marcel, the group’s leader, has his sights set on something bigger - destroying a large munitions dump by tunneling under its defences. Unexpected parallel events cause navy lieutenant Jimmy Wainwright, a Motor Torpedo Boat captain, to become a participant in the attack. However, there may be a traitor in the group who could cause everyone’s death.

What did you like best about this book? Wonderful characterization. These are characters that I could believe existed at one time or another. I enjoyed the historical content of the book also. The scenes with the French underground and the British armed forces held my attention, and the characters therein were excellent. Your description also was good, of the surrounding countryside and the farmhouses, trucks, etc. I felt as though I entered your fictional dream and that these characters were friends of mine. Annette was a wonderful heroine, as were her French comrades, Marcel, Erwan, Jean, Maurice, etc. The naval scenes also were filled with wonderful characters. Altogether an excellent read.
