Hercules Road

Hercules Road by Francis Cottam is the sequel to The Firefighter, and is set during the Blitz.
Ex-firefighter Jack Finlay has completed training in Scotland with a commando unit, and is sent on a mission to France to rescue an agent who has been compromised.
Hercules Road makes for compelling, poignant reading. The story is told so well it draws the reader, one can almost hear the bombs drop over London, and visualise the burnt out buildings. Francis Cottam is indeed a master storyteller.
