Trouble at Zero Hour
Trouble at Zero Hour – Rob Lofthouse, Heron, £13.99
THIS is three books in one as the ‘Zero Hour’ trilogy follows Robbie Stokes from his stomach-churning glider landing on D-Day to an airborne attack on Arnhem Bridge and the crossing of the Rhine.
A lot of history and a lot of fighting. First target is the Bénouville and Ramville bridges which they must take and hold to give the D-Day troops a way to clear the shores.
New recruit Robbie is in the thick of action where there is scarcely a let-up and, as ex-soldier Lofthouse knows exactly how it is. And tells it just as it would have felt as all hell was let loose.
