 Liverpool Soldier by Paul Hurley |
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story revolves around a German officer and his relationship with a British woman. Britain has lost the war against Germany, and most of Europe is under German rule. I won't give away any of the plot, but suffice to say, it has many twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages well into the night. You won't know how it ends until you turn the very last page.
I found it hard to find any faults with this book (other than a few grammatical errors). It's very well written and researched. If you enjoy WWII history in any way, do yourself a favor and pick it up. This one on the Amazon.co.uk site:-

Hurley is strong on detail, having researched the Third Reich. But this book is a nightmare rooted in the imagination. David Charters article in the Liverpool Daily Post

In May 2005 I compiled and had published a local history book about Middlewich in Cheshire. It is titled simply 'Middlewich!' . This was a joint effort between me and Brian Curzon (recently deceased), a local historian and academic. It can be purchased locally or through Amazon. It may also be purchased directly from the publisher www.tempus-publishing.com - A synopsis is copied below. Liverpool Soldier

Liverpool Soldier, Can be purchased anywhere by typing the title and my name into Google and AbeBooks will find the cheapest seller. It is a military tale, not just a war story but a thriller based on the premise that in 1940 Germany invaded Britain! It is written factually until Dunkirk. The cream of the allied armies are then trapped and imprisoned. The Germans invade Britain successfully.

Police Dog Jake comprises a series of illustrated children's books at present 3 books of 8 stories per book long. It is aimed at the 7 to 11+ age group. In 2003 it was signed up for five years by the Metropolitan Police. They were to publish it and obtain sponsorship. It would then be used in schools but in 2008,after a regime change, they decided that theycould no longer continue the project! They did however promise continued support if required.
The stories take him from birth through to life as a working police dog. The stories can be continued indefinitely.
The illustrator of the attached picture was Pat Kelsall. Pat is a respected illustrator who has exhibited in, amongst other venues, the Royal Academy.
A respected Literary Agent has shown an interest in the project.
