From bestselling and award-winning war reporter Damien Lewis and for fans of Erik Larsen’s The Splendid and Vile and Alex Kershaw’s The Forgotten 500 comes a thrilling account of one of the most daring raids of WWII…the true story of the race to stop Hitler from developing a top-secret weapon that would change the course of history.
"One of the most readable World War 2 history books I have read in years”
We Are the Mighty
Capturing the radar on film had been an amazing coup. Stealing it away from under the noses of the Nazis would be remarkable. 
 
So was launched Operation Biting, a mission like no other. An extraordinary “snatch-and-grab” raid on Germany’s secret radar installation, it offered Churchill’s elite airborne force, the Special Air Service, a rare opportunity to redeem themselves after a previous failed mission—and to shift the tides of war forever. Led by the legendary Major John Frost, these brave paratroopers would risk all in a daring airborne assault, with only a small stretch of beach menaced by enemy guns as their exit point. With the help of a volunteer radar technician who knew how to dismantle the dish, as well as the courageous men and women of the French Resistance, they succeeded against all odds in their act of brazen robbery. Some would die. Others would be captured. All fought with resolute bravery . . .
 
This is the story of that fateful night of February 27, 1942. A brilliantly told, thrillingly tense account of Churchill’s raiders in their finest hour, this is World War II history at its heart-stopping best.

Dirty secrets. Small town justice. Unexpected heroes… Welcome to Warrenville.
Cheyenne Farrow was untouchable. My beautiful neighbor was devoted to a man who didn’t deserve her or their adorable daughter.
It was nearly impossible to stay away, especially when Cheyenne’s warm-brown eyes gazed at me with so much unfulfilled desire.
Until the one night we finally succumbed to the unspoken temptation.
I’d just touched an angel and nearly got a taste of heaven when her world crumbled at her feet, and she found herself in the middle of hell.
I refused to let her walk through it alone, staying by her side for every burning step, no matter who tried to stand in my way.
