STAYING ALIVE

A riveting prequel to the WWII espionage series featuring British agent Rosie Ewing, in this ?meticulously researched war novel? (Len Deighton).   Late autumn, 1942: A group codenamed Countryman are briefed by London to get a certain German out of Vichy?s hands. What they don?t know is that they are being sold out to the Gestapo. Of course, they are constantly aware of betrayal as a looming danger. All too many SOE networks have been blown, with agents disappearing into the Gestapo cellars and extermination camps: the dread every agent lives with every minute of every day. In amongst them is Rosie Ewing, about to start a series of extraordinary life-or-death adventures . . . Praise for the writing of Alexander Fullerton:   ?The research is unimpeachable.? ?The Sunday Times   ?The tension rarely slackens and the setting is completely convincing.? ?The Times Literary Supplement
