The Heinkel 111 bombers laid a blanket of fire across Bristol. The blazes spread across the city and infernos raged inside houses and factories alike. Inside one, the wood burned and embers flew into Police Sergeant Eric Roe’s eyes. The foul, black smoke clawed at his lungs and the swirling flames licked at his face, singeing the flesh.

 

Fear bubbled in his throat like bile, but clutching the young child to his chest, he had to get out – he had to survive!

They said Bob Kernot could pilot his Beaufort back to base from any point of the compass in even the worst weather. He just seemed to sniff the air and hey presto, he and his crew were heading straight for home.

 

Bob had Roma blood in his veins. He could even see into the future and foretell what was going to happen, good or bad. And to know there’s deadly danger ahead and still fly on to meet it without flinching - that takes nerves of steel and real guts.

Like Bob had...

The Libyan desert is experiencing some funny weather! Mysterious, sudden rainstorms are turning the hot sands to boggy quagmires that are beaching British tanks! But not only that, a Nazi officer has disguised himself as an Arab tribesman to sow discontent, and a German scientist has attempted to defect - something very strange is going on.

 

Enter Lord Peter Flint – Codename: Warlord - Britain’s best secret agent, to investigate the weird happenings. A storm is brewing, and he can sense the hand of his old nemesis, Professor Kranz, is behind it all!

A cat and a rat wouldn’t normally stand a chance against a deadly cobra, would they? But when The Cat was a brilliant British agent, The Rat a cunning French thief, and The Cobra a ruthless Gestapo officer, who could tell what would happen?

 

For the sake of the Resistance men the Nazis were intent on killing, the snake had to lose…

Corporal Charlie Shaw was in the thick of it when tanks rolled into battle during the First World War. As one of the drivers of a Mark IV Male tank, he was certain nothing could stop them taking Bourlon Ridge!

 

But the tanks weren’t invulnerable — and soon Charlie found himself and his tank captured by the Germans!

Well, Sergeant Joe Shaw wasn’t about to stand around and let them capture his younger brother and his tank — even if it meant deserting his trench and rushing headlong at  the Germans to stop them!

Danny Willis was the best shot in the regiment. In fact, the NCOs who had trained him said he was the best shot in the entire British Army.

 

When he got to the front and found himself with fighting men at last, he was all ready to show them just what he could do. But he soon discovered there was a heck of a difference between a rifle range in England and a trench in the front line in Italy.

Lieutenant Gerald Cadman, the fighting coward, once again finds himself precisely where he does not want to be — on the front lines!

 

The arrival of the heroic and aristocratic Captain Blickley-Phipps, however, gives Cadman an idea for how to improve his station. But for Private Tom Smith, something doesn’t seem right about Blickley-Phipps. Ruthless in his quest for glory, the captain will gladly sacrifice his own men for victory. Even Scruff the dog can smell an impending disaster, but Cadman may be too distracted to find a way out this time!

These were two swords with a history. One belonged to a fearless Arab leader, the other to a heroic Foreign Legion officer. Many years ago, they had clashed as their owners fought a respected foe.

Now, as the desert wastes were engulfed by the Second World War, these two fine blades were destined to clash again.

During the First World War, 1.3 million Indian soldiers fought alongside the British Army, men like Sepoy Ram Thapar and Lal Mathai who had been brought from the hot climate of India to the frozen, battle-torn wasteland of Ypres, Belgium.

 

They were unprepared for what horrors awaited them in the muddy trenches but they met the challenge head-on, bravely roaring like lions.

Lieutenant Guy Merton was no good. As a fighting man, he was an out-and-out failure.

 

Then something happened — something no-one else knew about — and it turned him from a coward into a first-class fighting fury!

When Huw Arthur joined the Welch regiment, it quickly became clear he wasn’t much of a soldier. He couldn’t shoot to save his life, and he wasn’t particularly brave. As far as his superiors were concerned, there was only one job he could do…

 

For decades, the regiment had kept a goat as a mascot, and each goat had a steward — the Goat Major. Huw knew next to nothing about goats, but before long, he’d learn what it means to be a true soldier!

Warriors, that’s what they called them — men who could take on the enemy anywhere, any time, and lick him.

 

The last thing they needed was a coward amongst them, but that’s what they got.

Caught in the chaos of the Battle of the Bulge, the 28th Infantry Division thought they had enough problems. But then, their comrades began mysteriously disappearing in the depths of the frozen forests.

 

Tasked with finding the missing soldiers, Private Howard Kennedy and nine of his fellow troops were sent off into the snow in search of answers. What they found hidden among the frozen trees would haunt him for the rest of his days!

The sea mist clung to the three British Commandos as they paddled a rubber dinghy towards the dark French coast.

 

Behind them, their submarine slowly vanished beneath the waves, leaving them to face any dangers that lay ahead. And of danger there would be plenty, for no plans had been made for bringing them back again!

Stranded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the surviving crew of the wrecked HMS Avon was start

Ting to wonder whether they would ever see land again. But the sight of a ship on the horizon soon raised their hopes.

 

Once on board the strange frigate, though, it seemed their troubles weren’t over. Not a soul was aboard the ghost ship, and some of the men were hearing things. Who was the mysterious figure glimpsed out of the corner of the eye? What had happened aboard the Zelda?

No man is completely fearless — everyone has something he’s afraid of.

 

Take three soldiers caught up in the fighting in the jungle, each with a fear to overcome. For one it was fire. For another, tanks. And for the third, it was a dragon!

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 the vampire cat on the 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
