The Conscripted Man

By Robert Appleton

After trying on an authentic WW2 paratrooper's uniform--a present bought for his granddad, who's a war veteran--Christian Smith soon finds himself following in the old man's footsteps ... but for real! He's somehow transported back to Holland, 1944, hours before the start of Operation Market Garden.

But that's not all. Christian has a book in his rucksack--a book his granddad lent him: The Memoirs of Field Marshal Montgomery. And once ol' Monty gets his hands on that, you can be sure he's going to rewrite history, any way he can...

Robert Appleton

Robert Appleton is a British science fiction and adventure author who specializes in tales of survival in far-flung locations. Many of his sci-fi books share the same universe as his popular Alien Safari series, though tend to feature standalone storylines. His rebellious characters range from an orphaned grifter on Mars to a lone woman gate-crashing the war in her biotech suit. His sci-fi readers regularly earn enough frequent flyer miles to qualify for a cross-galaxy voyage of their choosing. His publishers include Harlequin Carina Press, and he also ghost-writes novels in other genres. In his free time he hikes, plays soccer, and kayaks whenever he can. The night sky is his inspiration.He has won awards for both fiction and book cover design.
