From the publisher

“An action-packed WW2 adventure . . . felt like I was watching a movie.” - Reviewer Deep in the Blitzkrieg, one unlucky tourist must fight to survive. When aspiring pilot John Archer finds himself caught in the middle of the devastating Nazi invasion of France, he quickly realizes that his vacation could cost him his life. As an American swept up in a wave of refugees fleeing the chaos of the German advance, deep down he knows he’s in way over his head. After a Stuka dive bomber attack forces him to flee into the woods, Archer stumbles upon an ambulance driver named Barney James. Together, they hatch a plan to escape the German Blitzkrieg and make it to safety. But it won’t be that simple. When an unfortunate capture leads to Archer discovering vital information about the Nazi’s plans, he knows he has no choice but to slip out from under his enemy’s nose and tell the Allies what he’s found. With nothing more than his basic pilot training and a determination to succeed, Archer will need more than a stroke of luck to pull off the escape of the century. Even if he manages to make it behind Allied lines, he won’t be safe–the Nazis are advancing. Combining classic action and adventure with a riveting and historical World War II setting, the first book in the John Archer Series is ideal for history buffs and casual readers alike. This action-packed adventure is perfect for teens and young adult readers.
