Nazi Ghost Train is a story of action, courage and adventure which follows charismatic true characters through sabotage, escape and evasion until they are all destined to meet at the same prison and same fate: deportation to Neuengamme concentration camp.
The true story of how more than 1,400 men and women of the Resistance, SOE agents, and airmen from Britain, the US and Canada were saved from death in a concentration camp by the courage and cunning of a small group of Belgian civilians.
Nazi Ghost Train unfolds in a pulse-pounding narrative, describing the terror of being shot down on bombing missions, the fight to stay free and alive with Gestapo on your tail, and the gut wrenching horror of betrayal.
From the opening scenes inside a B-17 when it is pounced on by an enemy fighter to the final desperate hours on the 'Ghost Train', this fight for survival will keep readers truing the pages after they should have flicked out the light.
Drawing upon a wealth of primary sources and extensive interviews, Nazi Ghost Train brings to life a cast of unforgettable characters, including: a Jew who risked his life to work with the armed resistance; a Liberator pilot who dropped secret agents behind the lines; a fascinating young Resistance heroine who ordered an attempt to kill one traitor and escaped to London to expose another to British intelligence; and Francoise Labouverie, who gathered intelligence on German radar until a Nazi officer dedicated a detective unit to track her down.
These stories weave together until - with liberation a heartbeat away - the Belgian patriots, Allied airmen and agents are roused from their prison cells and loaded onto cattle trucks. Would that be the end of them or could one last extraordinary escape plan change everything?
