Lions at Dawn

Season four continues with Stormtide Rising Book 29 in the Kirov Series

With the Allied forces closing on Tunisia from two sides, the Germans conceive a bold new plan that sends Rommel west to the heartland of Tunisia where he confronts the American Army under General Patton. The Axis forces launch Operation Sturmflut (Stormtide) as the famous names etched in the original history at Kasserine, Faid, Gafsa and El Guettar will again see the rising tide of war. Meanwhile, Hitler presses his daring invasion of Iraq and Syria in Operation Phoenix, while launching the cream of his airborne troops against the British outpost on Crete with a much belated Operation Merkur. As the action unfolds, Elena Fairchild’s exploration of Saint Michael’s Cave leads to a most unexpected place.

In the Pacific, the hunter becomes the hunted as Kirov moves south into dangerous waters and is pursued by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Admiral Kita joins the chase, and their tense naval duel continues, both on and under the sea.
