Publisher Description

A breathtaking thriller combining espionage and combat, Prey is the story of the brutal battle for the skies during the darkest days of World War II.



1943. The war is turning against the Third Reich, but the Luftwaffe are eagerly exploiting a lethal blind spot in the RAF's Lancaster bombers with their innovative upward-firing cannon.



MI5's Tam Moncrieff lobbies ceaselessly for a solution in the face of officials' indifference. His quest sees him accompanying a bombing raid deep into Nazi Germany that will change the course of the war.



The target is the Nazis' flagship city of Nuremberg. With bright moonlight and clear visibility, the conditions are perfect… for the enemy. The Luftwaffe are jubilant as they take out plane after plane.



With so many men dead or captured, can RAF Bomber Command overcome their darkest hour, when the predators have become the prey?



Graham Hurley's gripping Spoils of War Collection showcases key events of World War II and the books can be read in any order. For fans of Alan Furst, Simon Scarrow and John le Carré.
