After Dunkirk

The Battle of Dunkirk might be finished, but the war isn't over. The German Luftwaffe attacks Britain from the skies. With no allies, she stands alone. Her fate hangs in the balance. As the first Axis aircraft streak across English Channel airspace, so begins a battle for the ages, one that will determine the trajectory of the war. Braced for engagement on their individual fronts, the Littlefields plumb the depths of courage and ingenuity to defend their beloved Britain. Fresh from the slaughter of Dunkirk, youngest brother Jeremy is called upon to create a French Resistance network composed of former naval officers. At MI-9 headquarters, Claire Littlefield has devised an intelligence coup that could change the tide of the war. But will it work? Lance, captured and far from home, puts his resiliency and resolve to the test. And frustrated at being sidelined from active combat, Paul is unaware that he is being groomed for a role beyond his imagination. A sweeping story of war filled with intimate, day-to-day details of those closest to danger, Eagles over Britain is a captivating tale of bravery, sacrifice, and one family's fight to bring Britain to victory.

As the chaos of World War II spreads, one family fights for their freedom against impossible odds . . . Promoted within the British intelligence service, Paul is sent to Algiers during a ceasefire announced by French General Darlan. But when a deadly new assignment pushes his skills to the limit, will he step up to the challenge of his new role? At Bletchley Park, Claire and her team of analysts discern from decoded messages that the Germans have employed a new type of radar that is decimating RAF bombers. And the messages she decodes grow more troubling by the hour. Lance is sent to Colditz, a special prison for recaptured escapees. He will risk everything to make his escape to join the commandos back in England, where his brother Jeremy is enlisted in a daring raid. Cousin Josh Littlefield, a US navy fighter pilot, finds himself at the heart of vital initiatives. But will his training hold up under enemy fire? With fighting ongoing at Guadalcanal and in North Africa, the Allies gain strategic ground in the European and Pacific theaters-but determined enemies on both fronts strike back with furious counterattacks. And the Führer in Berlin is preparing an assault on Stalingrad . . .

The liberation of occupied France is long overdue, but the operation requires the combined efforts of the resistance groups across Europe. Jeremy returns to France to prepare for the Allied invasion. An occupied country is a dangerous terrain to navigate, and as Jeremy works to set the plan in motion, even the smallest mistake can come at a fatal price. At Bletchley Park, Claire decodes a troubling message from German high command. Hitler is moving his secret weapons development resource from Norway to Bavaria. Previous attempts to stop production in Norway have failed, and now the Allies must launch another mission-and they're counting on Claire. After making his mark in combat, Paul is dispatched to Italy. Many days of ground combat push Paul to his limits, and soon he realizes that this victory will require a greater sacrifice than ever before. Lance has been recaptured and sent back to the POW camp in Colditz Castle. His first escape was improbable; his chances of escaping a second time are slim to none. Luckily, Lance has never been afraid of taking big risks. And in the Pacific, an amphibious landing as ambitious as the one in Europe is in the works, with Josh at its center.

In the vast theater of World War II, the fate of one family weaves into the larger tapestry of the fight, even if victory asks for the ultimate sacrifice. Normandy. Sark Island. London. The Pacific. The Littlefield siblings, separated by the grim tide of war, fight on all fronts. The Dame of Sark, the Littlefield matriarch, faces starvation on Sark Island, while Lance grapples with the Wehrmacht on French soil. With every step shadowed by death, his sole goal is to liberate Paris and prepare for the final assault on Germany. In London, Claire deciphers enemy communications, her work pivotal in shaping the battlefield. Meanwhile, Jeremy leads a band of refugees through the treacherous Vercor Mountains, nursing the hope of rejoining the battle against the Germans. Across the globe, Josh prepares for a decisive amphibious assault as momentous as the one at Normandy. With World War II raging, the Littlefield's stories intertwine with old and new friends alike. As narratives converge, the tension escalates, culminating in the decisive Battle of the Bulge in the dense Ardennes Forest, with the family ready to pay the ultimate price to tilt the scales of war.

Jeremy Littlefield stands at a crossroads, his loyalties torn between two continents. On the verge of departing for Burma, he faces a crucial decision: heed the urgent call of the Pacific Theater, or remain in France to support the Resistance alongside his beloved Amélie. Each choice carries the weight of survival, not just for himself, but for those he might leave behind. Meanwhile, in the secretive confines of Bletchley Park, Claire's world of codes and ciphers exposes a desperate German ploy to turn the tide of the war. The success of the Allied forces hangs on her ability to crack these messages; failure could spell disaster. In the thick of the action, Paul, with the 2nd French Armored Division, orchestrates and leads daring assaults deep into enemy territory. His tactical prowess is crucial as the Allies push through the Siegfried Line toward the German heartland. At the same time, Lance, embodying undaunted resilience, escapes captivity once again. His return to the Resistance fuels a series of perilous sabotage missions designed to dismantle the enemy's operations from within. Together, the Littlefields navigate the complexities of war with unwavering courage. Confronting danger and moral dilemmas head-on, their story unfolds as a gripping narrative of endurance, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
