But with dissention in the ranks, a traitor in their midst and Jack's nemesis hot on his heels, the odds are stacked against them.brWhatever happens, the Tommies will be in the thick of it - but as time runs out Jack will find himself in a deadly battle for survival as he confronts not only the shadows of his past, but an enemy whose insidious plan for world domination threatens the freedom of mankind itself.brEchoing the great British war films of the seventies, DARKEST HOUR is the first in a series of gripping wartime adventures featuring Jack Stone and the Tin Can Tommies - with explosive action, twists, thrills and a cast of compelling characters - this is dieselpunk military sci-fi with a pulp comic WW2 twist!brTIN CAN TOMMIES - BRITANNIA JUST BROKE OUT THE BIG GUNS!
