Warbird

Mark Batey

Summary

Britain's secret weapon in the Battle of Britain is hidden in plain sight... It is a vast radar network, designed to detect hostile aircraft and enable RAF pilots to intercept them before they reach their targets. By summer 1940, the Nazis are aware of the new masts along the English coast but misread their significance. Germany's secret service sends former Olympic competitor, Klara Falke, to Britain. Her mission: to gather local intelligence to enrich the Nazis' invasion plans. Klara joins a group of Nazi sympathisers in northern England. Soon, MI5 is in pursuit, but she is not the only German agent plotting in Britain. When the Nazis discover that the RAF is using radar as an early warning device, they vow to destroy the masts. For Klara, knowing who to trust is a matter of life and death. 
Rooted in historical fact, Warbird is an intriguing adventure that twists and turns through the pivotal first twelve months of the Second World War.

From USA Today bestselling author D.F. Jones, “Twisting Time: Forbidden City of Gold” is a riveting fantasy novel that seamlessly blends cosmic love, myths and legends, and divine intervention with high-stakes adventure. At its heart lies the Supreme Creator’s deep-seated desire to create unity with his divine family and humanity.
When the heavenly council member Soal, representing the Holy Trifecta, amplifies their network of warriors across the universe, an unsuspecting group of college students finds themselves invited into a secret society. The secret society offers them the allure of powers and the answers to some of life’s enigmatic questions. This leads to four students - Blaine, Josephine, George, and Rose - being thrust into the midst of an ancient conflict. Trained and guided by seasoned angel warriors, their mission is to retrieve a sacred amulet and deliver it back to the Almighty.
