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 . . .
