Ungentlemanly Warfare

Inspired by the real-life mission undertaken by British Special Operations Executive agents in Nazi-occupied France and timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of VE Day, Ungentlemanly Warfare is a captivatingly sharp historical thriller about a pivotal and dramatic event during the Second World War. Blazing with crisp writing and palpable tension, it features Captain Harry Walsh - a soldier and a spy, an officer but not quite a gentleman - the British SOE agent tasked to assassinate the Nazi's top scientist, the man behind the ME 163 Komet, Hitler's miracle jet fighter. If Walsh fails, there is no prospect of allied victory in Europe... A secret assassin. An impossible mission. Failure is not an option. 1943. With Nazi Germany facing defeat, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring has authorized mass production of the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, a jet-propulsion engine aircraft faster than any plane in the Allies' arsenal. But British Intelligence has discovered that the Komet is unstable and German scientist Professor Gaerte has been tasked to fix the plane's flaw. To prevent the Komets from getting airborne, an undercover task force must infiltrate Nazi-occupied France and assassinate Gaerte. Captain Harry Walsh is one of Britain's most effective, ruthless, and unorthodox Special Operations Executive agents. Allied with an American OSS and Free French operatives, Harry leads his squad behind enemy lines where he's reunited with fellow SOE operative--and former lover--Emma Stirling. But as the team proceeds with their mission, an SS officer from Harry's past pursues the Englishman on a very personal mission of revenge . . . Harry Walsh is ruthless, unorthodox and ungentlemanly. He is about to wreak havoc.
