Reckoning

📖 The Scoop

A thrilling tale of courage, spy craft and love set during history's darkest hour, based on real events, that charts the desperate gamble that would alter the course of the Second World War and forever change the people who take part.

France, 1940. The German army is rampant and Lieutenant Arthur Scottsdale and the British Expeditionary Force are trapped. Amid the chaos, Scottsdale is recruited by Section D, forerunner of the Special Operations Executive, to rescue two scientists who hold the key to a breakthrough in radar technology that will prove as important to Britain as rescuing their stricken army. He will find tragedy and triumph as he struggles to lead his small group back to safety and save the woman he has fallen in love with, all the while fighting off the ruthless SS officer determined to stop them.

As they are hunted and caught up in the desperate clashes of the rearguard at Dunkirk, a final reckoning will force Scottsdale to assess where the line is between what is right and what is moral. He will question if he can make the hard choices needed in war but realise that ultimately, what they fight for - and against - is worth the sacrifices they will be forced to endure.

Reckoning is the first book in the brand new World War Two historical fiction Scottsdale Series, that follows Scottsdale from his baptism of fire at Dunkirk to the defeat of Germany and Japan, encountering a raft of characters from the subjugated peoples of Europe and Asia as they fight for their freedom from tyranny.
