Biographie de l'auteur
James Rouch has been a full-time author for thirty years. In that time he has had fourteen books published. Three of them are novels of the Second World War. TIGER, set in Northern France during the breakout from the Normandy beachhead. THE WAR MACHINES, set in North Africa and GATEWAY TO HELL, dealing with the fighting for Monte Cassino in Italy. They were all published in the UK and the USA by major publishers and all went to reprints with translation rights sold in Spain and many other countries. A series of novels entitled THE ZONE has comprised the rest of his output. Again on the subject of war their theme is an alternative near future where the Berlin Wall did not fall. Instead the cold war suffered meltdown. A war across Europe imploded, concentrating itself in a great contaminated swathe of territory slashed across the continent, a huge no-mans land, THE ZONE.
Présentation de l'éditeur
BATTLE-TESTING? 'In the machines those boffins keep bodging up it's more like bloody suicide. And as if it's not bad enough going to war in their death-traps, in this god-forsaken hell-hole of a desert, we have to have Hoskins, the only sergeant in the war who actually enjoys being shot at—and takes a sadistic pleasure in sharing the experience with his less heroic subordinates. That crazy bastard's antics are more terrifying than the entire German army...' How Frank Davies and his mate coped with everything the enemy and their superiors threw at them, and how they hit back, makes an explosive novel of World War 2, by the author of TIGER.
