Squatted out at sea, just off Nazi-occupied Europe, was a lonely and isolated island. On it, wrapped in fog, barely visible against the gloom, was a mansion with a dark secret. An elite group of highly-trained British Commandos paddled towards that island, unaware of what awaited them. They would be no match for the monsters hidden beneath that house of horrors!	In ancient Japan, a legend was handed down from generation to generation, a legend about a vampire cat whose presence meant certain death. Now a specialist unit of Japanese airborne troops wore the sign of that vampire cat on their headbands. They were highly-trained killers, and wherever they landed, death stalked with them...	At the height of World War Two, a trio of strangers arrived in a tiny coastal village with a hidden purpose, only to be told a trilogy of dark tales from its mysterious past... Stories of a Roman Centurion’s plans for a new road through a sacred forest are disturbed, Viking raiders encountering something in the unnatural sea mist, and a conniving witchfinder getting more than he bargained for when he rides into town! Perhaps the newcomers should heed these stories, for Raven’s Hollow has ways of dealing with unwelcome guests!	Against all odds, three men — an Indian, an Australian and an Englishman — had escaped death in the jungle. They had been brought together in a common cause by a man who knew exactly how they were going to fight from now on. And how did he know that? Because he was a magician!

After his daring escape from an Italian POW camp, Braddock found himself craving his next adventure. Luckily, adventure had a way of finding him! German Focke Wulf Condors were causing problems for the Allies in the Atlantic, and the Brits didn’t have any planes with the same range. Braddock’s solution? Steal one of the German kites, of course! But this mission would require a crack team, and some of Brad’s flight crew were more up to the task than others. Could they pull it off?	Lieutenant Pete Wade was very glad to see the last of Greece. He had seen too many brave men die facing hopeless odds as the Nazis swarmed in with overwhelming numbers. But he wouldn’t have been nearly so pleased if he’d known that he’d be sent back to Greece... by parachute, at dead of night. And there would be other enemies to deal with, more dangerous even than the Nazis!	The sleepy resort of Hauteville-Les-Bains in the French Alps was known for its hot springs and fine, salted raclette, it was a haven for tourists to relax and indulge. But in 1940, after conquering France, the Germans marched into Hauteville, destroying the calm atmosphere… there would be no raclette or relaxing for the next five years. Even worse, the Germans started using the town for the nefarious Project X… a secret weapon that would take the Nazis’ vengeance straight to the heart of Britain!	In the cellar of a villa in Italy, two British soldiers, a lieutenant and a sergeant, found a huge hoard of gold. No-one else knew it was there. No-one would know if they took it for themselves

As air raids wreak havoc over the skies of Berlin, dread pervades the Nazi party. High-ranking officials are being assassinated one by one by the mysterious group named ‘The Deathless Men’. At the scene of each crime, the killers leave a list of future victims alongside a proclamation titled ‘V for Vengeance’. Desperately, those whose names are listed seek answers, but their only clues link each assassin to deceased prisoners of a concentration camp – are the dead returning to seek revenge?	It was madness… a British patrol and a South African patrol hunting each other down like wild animals in the narrow moon-lit streets of a ruined North African oasis. Bullets sang through the gloom as men who had been friends only one hour before acted like savage enemies. The cause of all this was something that had happened on another dark night in 1899, in South Africa…	Iran, 1943. The ‘Big Three’ – Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin and Franklin Roosevelt – were set to have a conference to decide the final strategy for the war against Nazi Germany and its Axis partners. But the Germans knew about the conference – and they were prepared to do anything in their power to assassinate the enemy leaders – even putting a spy in the American embassy!	From the outside it looked like an old, deserted rocket site, with bomb-blasted buildings and debris scattered everywhere. But hidden underground bunkers concealed sleek, fast Arado 234 jet bombers which were being made ready for a very special top-secret mission. They had to be stopped - and quickly too!

The battleship Bismarck was the pride of the Kriegsmarine during the Second World War. A mighty warship preying remorselessly on the Allied convoys that ferried supplies between the US and Britain. She was unsinkable — or so her crew thought. Matrose Jurgen Voss was certainly convinced of the great ship’s infallibility. Some of his more seasoned crewmates, childhood friend Peter and cousin, Helmut, knew better than to believe themselves invulnerable, but none of them were to know the true danger they were soon to face — that these were the last days of the Bismarck.	This is the story of three troublemakers who had more charges against their names than a whole regiment. Yet when the chips were down, they did as much fighting as a whole regiment!	The proud son of a long line of Prussian warriors, Oberst Max Von Riedesel has military service in his blood. He believes he has seen the worst of war, but the Second World War has shown him another side of his beloved Germany. Riedesel does not approve of the Fuhrer’s Reich — his duty is to his people. His countrymen in the SS, though, will make any sacrifice for their misguided ideals. Before long, Riedesel will face a terrible choice — where exactly do his loyalties lie?	The Malayan jungle wasn’t called “Hell’s Hothouse” for nothing. And with hidden dangers everywhere, the search for a ruthless killer and a bandit gang was too hard for one man alone. But help was at hand from unexpected quarters — a Japanese officer and a British private who knew far more about flowers than he did about fighting!

The Japanese thought Iki Island was impregnable, the perfect place to store ammunition in their war against America. Thanks to its deep caves and heavy anti-aircraft defences, bombing raids were useless against the island. As far as anyone could work out, there was nothing that could be done. Enter two Italian American acrobats from Chicago, brothers Aldo and Matteo Costanzo – they would soon be known as the Batmen of Iki Island!	August 1945 – Japan was being forced to surrender, and after six long years, the Second World War was over. For many thousands, it had been a bitter, hard fight on land, on sea and in the air. And for Canadian army doctor Harry Murray, his war had started when the Japanese had overrun Hong Kong in 1941. That was grim enough, but then he found himself a prisoner on a small, nameless island where men could die at the whim of the enemy guards. The only hope in the end for Harry and his mates was to escape…	This is the story of a Korean man who fought in three different armies, on three different sides, over the course of one war. In 1939, Dae Gwan Lee was press-ganged into service in the Kwantung army of Manchukuo by the Japanese occupiers to fight against the Soviet forces. Before long, Lee was captured by the Soviets and forced to fight against the German invaders of Russia, who in turn captured him and shipped him to Europe. Defending France against the D-Day landings, Lee was captured again, but this time by the Americans. This is his incredible tale of a life during World War Two!	August 1945 - Japan was being forced to surrender, and after six long years, the Second World War was over. For many thousands, it had been a bitter, hard fight on land, on sea and in the air. For three battle-hardened NCOs – one British infantryman, a Gurkha and a Sikh – their worst moment had come when a fanatical Japanese regiment wiped out an ambulance train, murdering their wounded relatives and friends. Despite their differences, the three angry men united to hunt down the killers... and collect a debt of blood!

The daredevil bomber pilot returns! Now that his squadron had converted to Vickers Wellingtons, Sergeant Matt Braddock couldn’t wait to get airborne. But a hairy first mission soon left him without a navigator – luckily, the impressive Sergeant George Bourne was looking for a new crew. Bourne and Braddock were soon thick as thieves, but it wasn’t long before Braddock’s gung-ho attitude landed them in an Italian POW camp. Braddock was going to have to rely on more than his flying skills to get out of this one!	The Japanese submarine commander grunted with satisfaction as he gazed across the moonlit sea. There, turned turtle, was the British destroyer he’d torpedoed, her crew clinging to her hull. Her guns and her torpedo tubes were all underwater. He could relax – the British could do nothing to his submarine now. Yet, already gliding through the sea, leaving no ripples, making no noise, came a British secret weapon – the man they called ‘The Human Torpedo’.	The crew of the USS Annapolis had had a bad day. A surprise attack by a Japanese submarine had left them stranded at sea, at the mercy of the gnashing jaws of ravenous sharks! From within the thrashing ranks, a monster emerged – a great white larger than anything the sailors had seen before. Separated from their crewmates in the chaos, Gabriel, Sal and Tank were rescued by the very sub that had sunk them in the first place. What nefarious scheme did the shadowy commander have in store for them?	Mission accomplished that was the signal which would send a fleet of gliders swooping down into enemy territory to pick up a daring band of jungle raiders. For the men on the ground, it was the only way home – if they could reach the rendezvous in time.
