After Dunkirk

by Lee Jackson Book 1 in the After Dunkirk series.

First published 2020

Amazon

4.3(28,465)

In the aftermath of Dunkirk, Jeremy Littlefield is stranded in occupied France while his brother Lance gathers a band of soldiers for a dangerous journey across Europe. Their routes home lead through sabotage, concealment and the emerging French Resistance, where capture may be as deadly as open battle.

In Britain, Claire works among the codebreakers at Bletchley Park and Paul serves in the concealed world of MI6. Each knows information that could save the others but cannot safely be shared, making the opening novel both a wartime escape story and the beginning of a family saga shaped by intelligence, resistance and divided duty.
