About the book

17 September 1944: the allies launch the largest airborne offensive in history, delivering 36,000 troops by parachute and glider to the Dutch / German Border. In nine days time, half of them will be casualties of war. Among their number is Theo Trickey, a young paratrooper so dreadfully injured he is not expected survive.

Under the care of Medical Officer Captain Daniel Garland, Trickey is shipped to Germany as a Prisoner of War. As Garland slowly nurses him back to health, he discovers that there's something unusual about Trickey, starting with a chance meeting Trickey had with Erwin Rommel before the War...

About the Author

Robert Radcliffe

Robert Radcliffe's real name is Robert Mawson. He was born and educated in London where he worked at various jobs until talking his way into an editorial job on a yachting magazine. From there he worked in journalism and advertising '. . . gradually learning the ropes while trying to write my own stuff at home'. In the 1980s he took up flying then spent ten years as a commercial pilot, working all over the world, while still working on writing projects in his own time.

In 1991 Robert returned home to form his own PR consultancy, and work on book-writing projects. His first novel, A SHIP CALLED HOPE, was published under the Mawson name in 1994. In 1997 he sold his house and business and moved to a borrowed cottage in France to try and write full time. The result was THE LAZARUS CHILD, a book that sold more than a million copies worldwide and was translated into over twenty languages. In 2004 it was made into a film starring Andy Garcia and Angela Bassett.

Success enabled Robert to become a full-time writer. In 2002 he published UNDER AN ENGLISH HEAVEN under the pen-name Robert Radcliffe. The story of an American bomber base in Suffolk during World War II, UNDER AN ENGLISH HEAVEN was a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller and has sold more than 180,000 copies to date. This was followed by UPON DARK WATERS in 2004, ACROSS THE BLOOD-RED SKIES in 2009, DAMBUSTER in 2011, and BENEATH ANOTHER SUN in 2012. In 2017 the first in his new AIRBORNE trilogy, which is about the Parachute Regiment in World War II, was released.

Robert and his wife Kate, a teacher, live in Suffolk.
