When a plane crash leaves Charlie Bassett temporarily signed off from the RAF, he receives unexpected orders - to locate the elusive, pregnant Grace Baker and bring her home. But Grace, who has been following the armed forces across Europe, clearly does not want to be found, and despite Charlie's personal stake in it, this bizarre and challenging mission is still one he would rather avoid.
Nevertheless, Charlie finds himself journeying to France in a truck named Kate, with an eccentric Army Major and his loyal Private - two men who are evidently going about mysterious duties of their own. And as Charlie moves slowly towards the frontline on this increasingly intriguing, exhilarating road trip, so too does he draw closer to the woman he once loved and lost... David Fiddimore was born in 1944 in Yorkshire and is married with two children. He worked for five years at the Royal Veterinary College before joining HM Customs and Excise, where his work included postings to the investigation and intelligence divisions. Charlie's War is the second novel in the Charlie Bassett trilogy. With his first novel, Tuesday's War, David Fiddimore reached the final of the first ever Richard & Judy How to Get Published competition.
