This provided a rich collection of experiences that he draws upon in his writing. His debut novel, ‘Out of the Desert’, was published by Sharpe Books in 2021 and follows junior RAF aircrew Peter Denhay and Charlie Kendrick through the battles, loves, and losses of the early Second World War.
Genre: General Fiction
1. Out of the Desert – Young, ambitious Royal Air Force pilot Peter Denhay is posted to an operational bomber squadron at the start of a major Italian offensive into Egypt. Joining the proud and distinguished XXI Squadron, Peter will risk everything to win the plaudits and reputation he desires.
But his navigator, Charlie Kendrick, doesn’t see it the same way, and treats his new crew as a marriage of convenience.
That is until a series of unforeseen disasters befall the squadron – after their home base is attacked and its aircraft ambushed – suspicions are raised of a double-agent operating in their midst.
Braving Italian and German fighters, deadly flak, and a conspiracy of silence, Peter and Charlie enlist the help of Margot Dacre, a gifted intelligence officer with secrets of her own, in a race to prevent further setbacks before it’s too late.
The blistering crescendo comes in an intense air battle to prevent the invasion of Greece. XXI Squadron is committed to the fight in a last, desperate struggle to hold onto the Balkans. Peter and Charlie will have to sacrifice everything, to save their friends – and to save Greece.
2. The Night Service – Erich Stolcher, a cunning and brutal Gestapo agent, has devised a game to play British intelligence against itself. With the aid of a captured wireless set, he lures agents from the Special Operations Executive into a trap. After narrowly avoiding capture in Crete, war weary RAF officers Peter Denhay and Charlie Kendrick become embroiled in the German’s deadly war of shadows.
Rekindling an old love affair with an intelligence officer named Evelyn Moore, Denhay begins flying agents out of occupied France. But Kendrick falls foul of his new commanding officer after a professional quarrel, and is dispatched to Bomber Command in disgrace. Shot down on his first sortie, he survives by hiding with a French family. Matters are complicated when Kendrick falls for the daughter, Cecile.
When Evelyn goes unexpectedly missing in an attempt to expose the deception, Denhay sets out to find her. Grounded and alone, the officer must contest with both the RAF and the enemy to rescue Evelyn from occupied France before Stolcher catches her.
Aided by swift-flying Mosquito bombers, Denhay and Kendrick attempt a daring prison break.
The war of shadows becomes all too real.
3. The Unseen Enemy – Spring 1942.
Bomber Command suffers substantial losses. But some bombers are getting through and taking the fight to the enemy.
The Germans are on the cusp of developing a secret weapon, however, that aims to revive their hopes of victory in the West.
Grieving from a personal loss, Royal Air Force pilot Peter Denhay is appointed to command a newly formed Special Duties bomber squadron. Its mission: to play a vital role in the destruction of the weapon.
But before it can be deployed, he must forge his unit into an effective force. He is aided in his mission by his friend and fellow officer, Charlie Kendrick – who has his own problem to deal in the form of Oleg Kushkin, an enigmatic Soviet spy.
Facing incompetence, in-fighting, and Service politics on arrival at his new station, Denhay has his work cut out for him.
His task is further obstructed by the threat of an elite enemy fighter pilot, known by his men as ‘The Ghost of Schwerin’. The Ghost hunts down unsuspecting crews, who seemingly disappear without trace.
To restore his Squadron’s confidence, Denhay must first destroy The Ghost.
A complex deception leads to a desperate battle in which everything is risked, and a suicidal mission to the heart of the Nazi war machine.
