Review
"Holland is a superb historian who knows his stuff, and his descriptions of the action are terrific."
--"Daily Telegraph
""Old-fashioned, testosterone-fuelled escapism and Tanner is a chiselled protagonist straight out of the pages of the old Commando comics.... Destined to be a series that will run and run."
--"Mail on Sunday"

Format:Hardcover
I enjoyed the 'Odin Mission' for both its introduction of Jack Tanner and coverage of the little known Norway campaign. 'Darkest Hour' takes us to France and eventually to Dunkirk. However, other than some references to his 'dark secret' the development of Jack Tanner is limited. Tanner needs and deserves promotion. I am still grateful for this new saga but Holland must up the pace and make Tanner a more rounded character. In essence Tanner deserves more from both Holland the War Office.

James Holland is a fantastic writer of action WW2 adventure. In this book, he continues Tanner's struggle to win the war both at home and abroad. The book does not disappoint fans and I eagerly await the next installment of the likeable central characters. Will satisfy the adventure reader as well as the lovers of Commando comics. Thumbs up from me!

A great read for those interested in the history of WWII and adventure story lovers alike. Historically accurate, right down to the problems experienced by British soldiers with their equipment and the language used of the day.
