Description
A powerful novel of action, intrigue, horror and suspense, set against the somber background of Dunkirk and the Blitzkrieg. The time is June 1940. Nazi panzer divisions are churning across northern Europe, leaving ruin and demoralization in their wake. A British commando team sneaks into Amsterdam, and right under the nose of the advance units of the Wehrmacht steals the Dutch crown treasure from the Royal Palace and prepares to whisk it back to the safety of England... Tristan Jones has written more than just another war novel. The story is highlighted by a galaxy of unforgettable characters. Humor is there, too, macabre and chilling at times, but totally believable under the circumstances. And finally-like a thread of gossamer winding through this glowing fabric-there is a note of tenderness and compassion in the form of the Beatrice Maud, a sailing vessel whose actual participation in the Dunkirk evacuation touched upon the lives of many people.
