Produktbeschreibung

The biggest airborne landings of WWII are underway. Thousands of airborne troops drop on Holland, an audacious plan to seize the many bridges across the country and hold them until Allied armor and infantry arrive.

Company B of the 82nd has taken the bridge at Nijmegen, but the Germans launch a fierce counterattack. At the forefront of the fighting, 1st platoon engages in a desperate scramble to defend the bridge at all costs from infantry and artillery. And from tanks. PFC Ray Cassidy and his buddy Harry Byrd, armed with a borrowed bazooka, embark on a mission to take on two Tigers that threaten to wipe them out. The destruction of one Tiger is cause for celebration, but the second is commanded by a wily German, not likely to allow them to get close enough to use the bazooka. Yet the alternatives are grim. Do or die. And neither man is planning his funeral. They press on, battling overwhelming odds and German ambushes, and the end is, literally, explosive.

Heroes of the 82nd Airborne Book 6 Counterattack is the sixth shortread fiction set during the Second World War. The book is a collaboration between Todd McLeod and Eric Meyer, the bestselling author of more than fifty war novels.

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.

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