Resistance

Autor Gerald Brennan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2012
Can you ever escape your history?

During a road trip to France with her granddaughter, Dottie Tanner revisits the past and the dark days of WW2, when as a brave young woman she risked everything to fight for her country and freedom. Parachuting into occupied territory to work with the Resistance, young Dottie lived each day with homesickness, the fear of capture and the threat of the Nazi regime. She had no idea her life, and that of her comrades, was in jeopardy because a traitor lurked in their midst, one who would wreak havoc on her life. Sixty years later and with time running out, the traitor is exposed. As Dottie's whole world is turned upside down, will her final mission be one of revenge or can she forgive and forget?

Weaving expertly between past and present, this moving tale of one woman's incredible journey will stay with you for a long after you've turned the final page. Resistance is an emotional and absorbing family saga which will be the perfect read for fans of authors like Fiona Valpy, Aimie K. Runyan and Lindsey Jayne Ashford.

Patricia Dixon is also the bestselling author of the Women's fiction novels The Destiny Series and They Don't Know, as well as psychological thrillers #MeToo, Liars, The Secrets of Tenley House and Over My Shoulder.

Notă biografică

Mr. Brennan earned a B.S. in European History from the United States Military Academy at West Point and an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University in New York. He's the author of Resistance, and a series of space books including Zero Phase, Public Loneliness, Island of Clouds, Infinite Blues, and the forthcoming Alone on the Moon. He's done extensive original research for all of his books; for Resistance he made three trips to Prague and visited every site associated with the Heydrich assassination, as well as bicycling the likely routes the assassins probably took. For his space titles, he's conducted interviews with former astronauts (some of whom have walked on the moon) and consulted retired NASA engineers, but budgetary constraints have prevented on-site outer space research. (So far.) His writing has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Hypertext Magazine, The Good Men Project, and Innerview Magazine. He's the founder of Tortoise Books; he's also been a frequent contributor and co-editor at Back to Print and The Deadline. He resides in Chicago.
