The Lads Army & Drake Tempest (a teen war action & adventure book) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Your dad is missing; your mum thinks you’re out of control and London is ablaze. If you thought being a teenager was tough, imagine being one during a world war. Hitler was bulldozing his way across Europe and it was obvious Britain would be next. There was only one thing for it; Will Philips was bundled onto a truck, destination East Lothian. Surely living with an old Catholic priest in a secluded part of Scotland would be the safest place for him? Inspired by Drake Tempest, his comic book hero, Will and his new friends go looking for adventure. Uncovering an underworld of German spies and crossing paths with Irish Republicans, life soon becomes a fight to stay alive. Throw in the distraction of a cute Jewish girl and Will’s life would never be the same again. The Lads Army and Drake Tempest is a teenage fiction book written with an undertone of humour, complete at 66,000 words. It’s the first in a series following Will as he builds his teenage army to defend the country from Nazi occupation. Authors Quote: “My stories are inspired by a combination of memories from my own childhood, my interest in military history and my over active imagination. As I child I grew up in rural Scotland, getting up to lots of boisterous mischief. As a young man I spent five years in the Royal Air Force, getting up to even more mischief. Now older and wiser I am a serial creative thinker, with a roguish sense of humour.” This is my first teen book in the series of six; I am currently writing the second one, with plots already penned for the others. Warning: This book does contain strong language and violence in places.
