A novel of old wars, older warriors, and a last stand that no one saw coming.
By Paul Trow
When the world spirals into conflict once more, Britain's youngest soldiers are already lost-and the last line of defence is one nobody expected.
Peter Hudson, a retired Household Cavalryman turned estate butler, has spent decades polishing silver and memories. But when smoke rises over the Channel and the names of the fallen stop being read aloud, a call from the past arrives in a manila envelope.
Across the country, forgotten veterans stir. Discarded tanks are reawakened. Old units reform not for glory, not for country, but for each other. Operation Grey Lion begins-not as a mission, but a reckoning.
As ghosts gather in Bovington's hangars, and a phantom war creeps closer to home, the question is no longer "Who will fight?"
But "What do we still remember?"
Sharp, moving, and darkly funny, Operation Grey Lion is a genre-bending tale of camaraderie, courage, and the bite of memory. Perfect for fans of Band of Brothers, Generation Kill, and The Old Man's War.
