The Fleeting Target: A night-time mission to assassinate the enemy… (Spitfire Mavericks Thrillers Book 3)
£2.99
Who is leaking secrets to the enemy…?
1941
Flying Officer Angus Mackennelly is flying over Northern France when his tank is holed and he’s forced to crash-land.
Luckily, he is picked up by the French Resistance before the enemy can get to him and, after a tense few days moving between safe houses, he escapes back to Blighty.
Reunited with his squadron, Angus expects to return to flying duties. However, Squadron Leader Bentley informs him that he’s not going to be flying sorties. He is singled out to lead a top-secret mission.
The special mission is to conduct a low flying night operation with six blacked out Spitfires to strafe a convoy carrying a top general from the German High Command and assassinate him.
Training quickly commences but a spate of unexpected enemy fighter attacks leads the team to suspect that a spy is trying to leak details of the upcoming mission to the Germans.
Angus is put on the case to squirrel out the informer and protect the rest of the men from the enemy within.
Will Angus succeed in his secret mission? Can he identify the mole?
Or will the lives of all the men in Maverick Squadron be compromised…?

This the third book in the series, and I am so glad that there is going to be a fourth. I really miss the characters, now that I have finished the book and I can’t wait to see what their future holds… There is plenty of exciting action in this story and it is very reminiscent of the early 1940s – it has obviously been well researched. As well as the tense flying scenes, there is also some romance and humour, lots to keep me interested. I hope that book 4 comes out soon!

Up to the last books I enjoyed the read, looking forward to the next in line, hopefully will be just as good
by Mr. K. P. Kington
A great read, a great series. I enjoyed this book immensely, the characters are well written into the fabric of the story. It might be fiction but, as the author rightly says, there might be some truth in there somewhere. There is no doubt the Nazis tried to produce an atomic bomb. Many other authors have written around this but if fact.
All that aside, it is an excellent read, anyone who likes ww2 raf stories will enjoy this.
I cannot wait for the next instalment.
