Description
Harry Rawlins yearns for excitement before the war ends so volunteers to leave his relatively safe position, intercepting enemy signals, to join the Nottingham Sherwood Rangers. He tragically loses his friends and crewmates in a training accident just three weeks before D-Day.
A veteran tank crew, mysteriously transferred into his unit, is a man down and Harry is the body to fill that slot. Finding himself thrown into the vanguard of the assault on the beaches, can Harry survive long enough to prove himself and gain the acceptance of his new crew?
Further along the coast a traitor, codenamed Kobold, is doing his upmost to derail the allied plans. Destiny has decreed that as they battle inland their paths will become inextricably entwined. With little enthusiasm from superiors they find themselves alone in his pursuit. The chase is on.
What will get Harry first? Bad luck, the enemy or Kobold ... and just what is the connection between Kobold and his new tank commander ...

Person
Richard Stacey is 54 and lives in a quiet Leicestershire Market town with his wife and three children. Having served for twenty-four years in the British Army coupled with a long-term fascination with World War two gives this novel its sense of authenticity. Needing to take an early retirement for health reason has enabled Richard to concentrate full time on his writing.
