American armor has stormed ashore on the Normandy beaches, heading south and west, to meet and defeat the Nazi hordes. Not everything goes to plan, and part of 2nd Armored Division is cut off when a German heavy Panzer unit pierces their lines during the night. They are trapped and facing extermination by a company of Panthers the newest and most lethal tank in the theatre of war.

A way must be found for them to escape the trap, and First platoon, Company B, 82nd Airborne, is chosen for their already proven fighting skills. They battle hard to reach Coutances, the last know position of the trapped armor, past the prepared ambushes, minefields and booby traps left by the Germans.

During this time he pursued a full-time career as an independent coach and consultant, working with various blue chip and smaller organisations.

As an author, his books are sold all over the world in paperback, hardback and ebook format. He writes mainly in the genres of military thriller, and detective thriller. Indeed, his first novel, Devil's Guard, The Real Story, is a fact based novel based on the French IndoChina war in what is now known as Vietnam. With a number of novels set during World War II on the Eastern Front, as well as novels of the Vietnam War, his military experience is reflected in a range of war fiction titles. The detective thrillers are based on an NYPD detective, Gabriel de Sade, a Special Forces veteran.

He has also presented a number of documentary films, mostly exploring historical subjects ranging from early Christian history to the mystical brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci.

Eric is married with three children, and still pursues his military and historical research in his available spare time.
