5124: Gold Collection: Under the Wire
British Lieutenant Pete Smith had a plan: he would don the
stolen uniform of an SS soldier, speak like a Nazi, and infiltrate a German POW
camp in an effort to prevent a break out. The only problem was SS Captain
Gustav Siegel, who had marked Pete for revenge and happened to be trapped with alongside
him behind the barbed wire fence of the camp. Maybe Pete would need help
escaping after all…

5125: Action and Adventure: E-Boat Strike!
After the Allies invaded Italy in 1943, the majestic waters
of the Adriatic Sea were some of the most dangerous in the world. Crawling with
Italian MAS boats, now faster and deadlier than they when the terrorised the
Austro-Hungarian Navy in World War One, the only thing worse in the water was
the lethal German E-boats that lurked like vultures, waiting to pick off their
prey…

5126: Silver Collection: Home Guard Hero
When a Nazi U-boat invades the small island of Beagsay in
Scotland, the townsfolk’s only hope of rescue is in Alec Fraser’s Home Guard
squad. After the rest of the platoon leave the island for a training exercise,
Alec is left with only the dregs of military support: seventeen year olds Iain
Bissett and David Macaskell, and sexagenarian fishermen Jock and Hamish McColl.
But when push came to shove they’d show the Nazis that they came to the wrong
island!
If ‘Dad’s Army’ was cranked up to ten, it would be Burden’s
‘Home Guard Hero’. With the stakes higher than ever, the cruelty of the Nazi CO
is written all over Gordon C Livingstone’s interior artwork, while Ian
Kennedy’s cover centres on our brave Tommy hero defending the island he holds
so dear.
