This lightened the burden for the assault troops, a misguided feeling of relief as the German's took over the defence, not willing to concede any part of the Nazi Empire to the Allies without a fight.

Ben James Pertin--sent to the probe ship Aurora after Ben Frank Pertin was reported missing on board. Ben Linc Pertin--dispatched to the artificial satellite orbiting Cuckoo.

SYNOPSIS: He masterminded the international intelligence network that halted the Nazi juggernaut. Sir William Stephenson, the man called Intrepid, and his astonishing activities are the subject of this book. Because he sought anonymity, held no military rank and wore no uniform after 1918, he never publicly displayed the decorations and medals awarded to him. He holds the (British) Military Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, 1914-1915 Star, General Service Medal, World War I Victory Medal; (French) Commander of the Legion of Honor, (Belgian) Croix de Guerre with Palms; (U.S.) Presidential Medal for Merit (Sir William was the first non-American to receive this decoration); (British) The Badge of Knighthood. William Stevenson, no relative of Sir William despite the similarity of their names, is a Canadian, although born in England. He is a distinguished journalist, having been a foreign correspondent and bureau chief for British and Canadian newspapers. More recently he has been a television writer and producer and is, as well, the author of seven previously published books. His most recent journalistic achievement was 90 Minutes at Entebbe, the dynamic account of Israel's stunning rescue mission. He was a naval flyer during World War II and met Sir William on special assignment to intelligence. They have remained fast friends ever since, and Sir William entrusted his unique and invaluable files to William Stevenson with complete authority and discretion to write this selective narrative. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: THEY WERE GREEN. THEY WERE LITTLE. THEY WERE BALD AS BILLIARD BALLS AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE. Luke Devereaux was a science-fiction writer, holed up in a desert shack waiting for inspiration. He was the first man to see a Martian.but he wasn't the last! It was estimated that a billion of them had arrived - one to every three human beings on Earth - obnoxious green creatures who could be seen and heard, but not harmed, and who probed private sex lives as shamelessly as they probed government secrets. No one knew why they had come. No one knew how to make them go away - except, perhaps, Luke Devereaux. Unfortunately, Devereaux was going slightly bananas, so it wouldn't be easy. But for a science-fiction writer nothing was impossible. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
