Overview

""A historical novel that's as real as it gets...Saving Jewish kids from the horror of Buchenwald becomes the untold story of the liberation of Paris."" Lt. Charles Horn, USN, Retired Tides of Mercy is a razor-edged World War II thriller that hurls readers from the mine-laced waters off Cherbourg to the embattled heart of Paris and deep into the shadows of Soviet espionage. Commander Jonas Pratt, USNR, faces impossible orders: Overcome Nazi torpedo boats and NKVD assassins to rescue a trainload of doomed children from a Vichy transit camp outside occupied Paris. Haunted by the ghosts of his run to Murmansk and tangled in a deadly game of double agents, Pratt's quick wits and sharper instincts are pushed to the breaking point as he assembles a ragtag strike force of U.S. misfits, French communists, battered Resistance fighters-and one dangerously savvy German POW. Scheming Nazis, desperate chases, last-ditch firefights, and a midnight mutiny at sea soon threaten everything Pratt believes in-loyalty, mercy, and the slimmest hope of getting home alive. In the fog of war, not every enemy wears a uniform, and the only thing standing between triumph and oblivion might be the friendships forged in hell itself. For fans of taut historical action, high-stakes espionage, and stories where the difference between savior and survivor comes down to the pull of a trigger-Tides of Mercy will leave you breathless.
