Lord Peter Flint is on one of his most dangerous — and important — missions yet! ‘Shadow Sands’ is the codename for the biological weapons project collecting anthrax spores on an isolated Maunsell Fort off the coast of England. Flint’s handler, Kingpin, was at the fort when it was raided by a team of German commandos and Professor Kranz’s robot Panzermen. Now he’s been taken hostage along with the leading scientists! But Intelligence believes someone on board the fort helped the Germans — and they suspect Kingpin! Kingpin, a traitor?! It can’t be true! Warlord has until midnight to rescue the hostages and clear Kingpin’s name!	The German soldier stood well braced, Schmeisser shuddering in his strong hands and cutting down the attackers. He had learnt the ways of war in France, Crete, North Africa — a tough school for any soldier. And beside him, firing with equal calmness, was a British soldier — a veteran hardened in the battles of Dunkirk, Tobruk, El Alamein. That day, many British and German soldiers fought the hardest fight of their lives in the ruins of an old desert fort. Not against each other, but as allies!	Warsaw, summer of 1944. Not everyone had bowed down to the German occupation. Like other brave members of the underground Polish Home Army, Monika Proch risked her life for her country to be free. The previous year, Warsaw had seen how cruelly the Nazis could crush rebellion, with the utter destruction of the Jewish ghetto. Monika vowed the rest of her city would not receive the same fate. Together with the other men and women of the Resistance, they would rise against the Nazi invaders like a… PHOENIX FROM THE FLAMES!	If you’re a member of a platoon trekking through miles of hostile jungle to attack a secret enemy supply dump, you want the man in command to be a cool, reliable bloke whom you can trust. But what happens when you’re led by someone whose lies nearly landed you in prison?

But being bounced around from airfield to airfield, then evacuated to India, Braddock soon spies opportunity in the form of a Blenheim without a crew. Now he can take the fight back to the Japanese! But how does Braddock go from flying his bomber with his navigator, George Bourne, to flying a hurricane fighter plane solo?	Alone and weary, Lieutenant Rob cautiously embarked down the boulder-strewn Italian mountainside, his eyes searching the night for any sign of the Nazis. He was cold and tired and felt he could sleep for a week... but still he forced himself on. He knew that if he failed in this mission, death and destruction would smash the Allied armies when the first light of dawn lit up the angry sky..	The Western Front, 1917. Charlie Wilberforce, a British fighter pilot, sees the Royal Flying Corps devastated by the German Flying Circus, with their superior planes and experienced pilots. But things turn around when Wilberforce is introduced to a new plane — the Sopwith Camel!	The German armoured column roared through the Italian countryside, heading for what was supposed to be a lightly-defended pass through the mountains.

After the explosive events on the island, Oberfuhrer Randolph Mensch flew towards his private prisoner-of-war-camp. Housed there were the Soviet and British inmates Mensch used for his vile, mad experiments. Miles away, a small raiding force of British Commandos were on a doomed mission – and they had no idea what was awaiting them at the camp!	Mario Galasso was a very good type indeed — brave, cool-headed and thoughtful. In battle, he would never ask his men to do anything he wouldn’t do himself. But when he returned to his home village after the war, he was arrested for war crimes! And the trouble was, he seemed to be the only one who knew he was innocent…	The Island of Crete,1941. What did an English Nurse, a Māori soldier, a Cretan monk and a German general all have in common? They were all captured in Crete! After German paratroopers descend on the island, the Allied forces, nurses and Cretan people must fight back against the invaders in any way they can. Resistance and soldiers unite, while Nurse Stavros moves over 500 wounded soldiers to a cave and tricks the Germans into feeding them — all inspired by true events!	It wasn’t that Mike Briers had really meant to desert. Not exactly. It was just that Foxy Billings had persuaded him to leave the rest of the lads so that the two of them would have a better chance of escaping the Germans. So how was it that he found himself wearing civilian clothes and fighting for his life on top of a French goods train that was about to be sent to its destruction?

Paris, 1940. The Nazis have occupied the city, hope lies tattered under their oppression, and light and art have fled – or so the Germans thought. The Parisians cried aloud for vengeance and the Deathless Men – masked assassins clad in grey – answered, bringing their bloody retribution to the city of light. It was now the turn of the tyrants, the murderers, the torturers and the collaborators to tremble. They could not escape vengeance, their time was coming!	Jim Bryant, an Englishman working in Burma, had turned traitor and gone over to the enemy. Every night he broadcast to the Allied troops in the jungle, telling them how hopeless the situation was. At first they just laughed, but soon the treacherous voice made the men angry and afraid. There was only one answer to the problem — silence Bryant. And that’s where The Vengeance Squad came in...	While advancing on Berlin in the wake of Germany’s surrender, British Captain Roderick Churchill contends with remaining pockets of German resistance that have yet to acknowledge their nation’s defeat. Along the way, he learns the story of two young German soldiers who, while fighting in the Battle of Berlin, became disillusioned about the righteousness of their nation’s cause. But while one of these young soldiers surrenders to Churchill peacefully, his friend proves more difficult to pacify…	With resistance to the German advance in France crumbling rapidly, every Allied unit had to flee the country as best they could. Andy Blake’s lads thought they’d managed okay until their boat ran aground. The only lot who could help was a French platoon — but Andy’s squad had double-crossed them earlier. Would the French save them now?
