September 1944, and the greatest airborne assault in history. Forty-one thousand paratroopers drop over Holland to capture the bridges lying between the Allies and the border of the Third Reich. A US Airborne platoon mistakenly lands too far east, leading to panic inside Eisenhower's HQ. Previously part of Ike's planning team, the platoon commander has detailed knowledge of the strategy for the coming battle to conquer Germany. His capture and interrogation is unthinkable. There are two solutions. One is to arrange his death. The second is to send in a party. Denied, the risk is too great. The men of 1st Platoon, Army Rangers, have other ideas. Against orders, they parachute behind enemy lines to locate the missing troops and prevent the deliberate death of a valuable officer. East of Arnhem, the region is alive with enemy activity. From the moment they land, the enemy is on their tail. When the Germans discover the identity of the American officer the fighting becomes more intense. Aided by the Dutch Resistance, they battle to stay one step ahead and survive for long enough to bring the men to safety. A full-length novel by the bestselling author of many Spec Ops books. These include the popular Grant's War series, SEAL Team Bravo, Heroes of Afghanistan, Raider, Echo Six, and Devil's Guard titles.
