Ralph Peters, author of Wars of Blood and Faith
Its 1944, and the German war machine is on its heels but still lethal, while the Allies pry the Netherlands from the Nazis grasp. Operation Market Garden will be spearheaded by the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles. But if youre one man in one corner of this battle, its a plunge into chaosat a place called Hells Highway.
Sergeant Matt Baker is a recon leader from the 101st, in charge of a team of Brits, Americans, and Dutch resistance fighters sent on a desperate reconnaissance mission. For Baker, every step behind enemy lines means dozens of critical choices, firefights that explode out of nowhere, and facing down one ruthless German who knows his war is lost and who is as fierce as he is brilliant. To both men, its a battle to get out of hell alive.
From the struggles of the men and women of the Dutch resistance to a pitched fight for one critical bridge, Hells Highway is the suspense-packed, surprise-filled version of the bestselling video gameand an intense epic journey into the true nature of war.
