It's May 1940.
The Allies are at a standoff with Hitler's Germany.
Second Lieutenant Tennyson "Ted" Drake, until recently a barracks schoolmaster, is on a shadowy reconnaissance trip deep in the Ardennes forest.
But when the German panzers burst across the border, Drake's commanding officer is killed, leaving Drake in a place he should not be, with no orders, just a bloodstained notebook filled with code - and a mysterious sketch of a raven.
As the Allied defences crumble before the onslaught of the Blitzkrieg, Drake must stay alive long enough to discover the raven’s secret - and stop its catastrophic consequences on the outcome of the war…
A lone British officer.
An impenetrable cypher.
A perilous adventure.
Hitler’s mad gamble.
A treacherous villain.
The murderous Nazi SS.
Drake's War is a mystery wrapped up in a tense, twisting thriller, set into a gripping novel of historical military fiction.
It will keep you guessing to the final twist...
An instant classic.
Drake's War is pitched perfectly at fans of Bernard Cornwell, David Baldacci, Tom Clancy, Simon Scarrow, Patrick O'Brian, Robert Harris, Alex Gerlis, John le Carré...

"As a portrait of military history, it doesn’t get much better. Unflinching realism… a genuine tour de force of nail-biting tension. Action sequences are exceptional. frankly, they thrill." —E.V. Seymour, best-selling author of The Patient and My Daughter's Secrets
"A quick-paced, well-plotted novel set during the German invasion. Saint’s prose is sharp and suspenseful, rarely letting up as the story briskly unravels with all the haste of a retreating army… The author has written a propulsive, mystery-driven narrative that manages to effectively capture the stakes and scope of the real-life battle it portrays… fans of World War II films will certainly enjoy this cinematic offering." —Kirkus Reviews
