German Fallschirmjägerparatrooper Paul Brand and his junior sergeant Max Grun are sent to a clandestine camp in the foothills of the Harz Mountains to undergo intensive training for their mission – the subjugation of the impregnable Eben Emael Fortress.
The top-secret mission involves two classified weapons: a glider used for the first time to deposit troops directly onto target, and a new Hollow Charge Weapon, capable of blasting through steel or concrete. Standing between them is over 1,000 Belgian troops. Will they succeed in their mission and penetrate the strongest fortress in the world? Or will the Belgian troops and their secure bastionbe too strong?
Join Paul and Max in the first of their wartime missions and follow them in the Devils with Wings series. This exciting fictionalised retelling of the assault on Eben Emael is written by an author with extensive army intelligence experience.

'Now this is my kind of book. Well written and well researched. Really atmospheric and miles better than the likes of Sven Hasssel. You will not be disappointed. I'm told there's a third one in the works. Can't wait to see what happens at Leningrad.'

'I downloaded the kindle edition of this book after meeting the author at a book signing. I am not a big reader of military fiction but was persuaded to try the book by the obvious passion of Mr Black for his subject.I really enjoyed the book and am eagerly anticipating the next in what I understand will be a 10 book series. The subject is obviously well researched and the main characters are nicely rounded, having developed throughout the book.'

'When I first picked up this book I thought not for me , but after a few pages I could not put it down. The research that the author has done has to be commended! I enjoyed the book so much that I am still [1 month later] still thinking about it. Don't make the mistake I nearly made and miss a fantastic read.'
