The Lads Army

by Kevin Flannigan

Overview

Imagine being a teenage boy in war torn Britain, your dad’s missing, presumed dead and London is falling around your ears. With no school, no rules and no meddlesome adults around, what would you do?

That's what William Philips asked himself when he was bundled into a truck heading north to East Lothian in the spring of 1940. As Hitler’s Nazi Germany invaded Europe at a frightening pace most feared Britain would be next. Surely living in the middle of the Scottish countryside with a half-sozzled old priest would be the safest place for him?

Inspired by the comic book hero Drake Tempest, Will and his new found friends go looking for adventure. Discovering a secret network of German spies collaborating with the Irish Republican Army, they find themselves in a whole heap of trouble as life becomes a fight for survival. Little did they know that their actions would change the course of history forever.

WARNING - NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER READERS - Contains strong language and scenes of violence.

About the Author

As a creative thinker, over the past twenty years I have been an Air Cartographer in the RAF, a graphic designer and a web designer. Writing novels is just another extension of my overactive imagination.

This is my first novel in the series of six; I have started writing the second one, with plots already penned for the others. I am also developing the concept for the L.A.D.S. Army set in a modern day series of novels.

My stories are inspired by a combination of memories from my own childhood, my interest in military history and my over active imagination. As I child I grew up in rural Scotland, getting up to lots of boisterous mischief. As a young man I spent five years in the Royal Air Force, getting up to even more mischief. Now older and wiser I am a serial creative thinker, with a roguish sense of humour. During the day I design web sites, at night, I write.
