James Ryker knows the ghosts of his dark and violent past are never far away. Yet he's still taken aback when he sees Leia Devereaux's face at his door.

Written by a retired British soldier, Trouble at Zero Hour is a breathless and vivid story, dramatising three of the key Allied operations that turned the tide of the Second World War. 6 June, 1944, somewhere over the Normandy coastline: Robbie Stokes sits in a glider, his Bren resting on the floor between his outstretched legs.

The belly makes contact with the ground and the first Allied troops tumble out into occupied Europe.
