Description
The world is at war.
Japan has just attacked Pearl Harbor. In London, Prime Minister Churchill disappears. In Washington, President Roosevelt faces an alliance with conflicting objectives. In the Soviet Union, dictator Joseph Stalin watches a Nazi onslaught maul his country.
From their isolated perch on Sark Island, feudal rulers Dame Marian Littlefield and her husband oppose their German occupiers in the only way left to them-through a battle of wits. They wonder about the location and well-being of their offspring, Paul, Claire, Lance, and Jeremy.
Meanwhile, Paul engages in intelligence operations in Manhattan and Washington, DC. Claire works with Americans decoding enemy messages. Lance conspires to escape with other POWs at Oflag IV-C within the walls of Colditz Castle. Jeremy leaves his heart with Amélie in France to join the British commandos for the greatest raid in history.
And in Moscow, the Russian winter has just set in.
The saga of the Littlefield family intensifies in THE GIANT AWAKENS, recipient of the 2023 MWSA Gold Medal.
