Something’s rotten in the Third Republic of France.
It’s May 1940 and the British Army is facing annihilation. The Wehrmacht is racing through Europe at lightning speed, and the French seem to have given up the fight.
When Second Lieutenant Tennyson ‘Ted’ Drake is approached by a shadowy British major, he’s handed an impossible mission: to hunt down an enemy agent, codenamed Viper, in the midst of the hellish retreat.
As France burns, Drake must lead his men into the fight of their lives, to uncover a conspiracy that will bring all Allied resistance to its knees…
‘An absolutely cracking read… right up there with the best war fiction. Genuinely exceptional ‘set-piece’ battle scenes are utterly thrilling. My heart was in my mouth.’
E. V. Seymour, best-selling author of Final Target and The Patient
‘A quick-paced, well-plotted novel…a propulsive, mystery-driven narrative.’
