A deadly mission awaits the Spitfire Mavericks! For fans of Derek Robinson, James Holland, Frank Barnard and Jack Higgins.

Never underestimate your enemy…

Autumn, 1941

During a routine patrol, Flying Officer Angus Mackennelly ends up in a skirmish with the enemy over the English Channel and is nearly captured.

It is clear the Germans have unleashed a new weapon.

Back at base, Maverick Squadron are told the new German fighter plane is the Focke-Wulf 190. And it is far more maneuverable and nimbler than anything the British have got.

Soon the FW is causing problems for every unit. Squadron Leader Bentley exhorts the Mavericks to do their best no matter what and continue to fly in combat against the new plane.

The Mavericks struggle on against the enemy but the odds are falling further out of their favour.

Something needs to change and Angus is tasked with capturing one of the enemy craft for British intelligence.

But that’s easier said than done…

Will Angus succeed in his mission? Can the British match the new German technology?

Or will Maverick Squadron be forced to admit defeat…?

THE SUNRISE RAIDERS is the fourth book in the Spitfire Mavericks Thrillers series: action-packed aviation adventures set during the second world war and featuring a team of vigilante pilots.
