Crossing the Rhine

Crossing the Rhine is the ninth installment in Wall Street Journal bestselling author Lee Jackson's riveting After Dunkirk series. This historical fiction saga offers readers an epic glimpse into the turmoil and triumphs of WWII.

In late 1944, as Allied forces grind their way toward Germany's heart, the Littlefield family finds themselves caught at the center of a desperate struggle.

Jeremy, the daring pilot, flies dangerous missions across Europe and beyond, risking his life and his heart as he battles a waning and desperate empire. Beside him stands Amelie, the courageous ambulance driver dedicated to saving soldiers' lives at the front--Allied and enemy. She is equally devoted to Jeremy--undaunted by the chaos around them.

Claire, the brilliant cryptologist who is stationed at Bletchley Park, races against time to crack enemy codes that could save thousands. Her sharp mind unearths enemy secrets, but she is haunted by the fear that her warnings could be ignored--leading to catastrophic consequences.

Paul, the steady and determined soldier, advances through France, uncovering Nazi atrocities as he liberates war-torn villages. The discovery of a hidden Nazi prison camp forces him to confront the unimaginable, fueling his mission to expose the truth and bring freedom to the oppressed.

And in the brutal confines of Colditz, Lance, the bold adventurer, is willing to risk everything, escaping and joining forces with the French Resistance as he fights to defy Nazi rule. As he and his comrades endure unspeakable conditions, Lance's spirit burns fiercely--a defiant spark of rebellion behind enemy lines.

Will their collective strength be enough to silence the guns of war?
