Description
Collected together for the first time, all nine short stories as published in Thriller UK between 2003 and 2008 and including the previously unpublished Netherby Chase story 'The Last Dogfight'.
Seven stories featuring the thrilling adventures of Great War RFC pilot Netherby Chase, joined by his American friend Marvin Lee and featuring the mysterious Major Kell of Military Intelligence. Combat in the skies and intrigue on the ground, life is never dull for Captain Netherby Chase.
Two stories featuring Tatjana Putz, freelance Austrian Intelligence operative and lastly, a story about Gabriel Coltrane, Anglo-Spanish Interpol agent and the person they call in to solve the baffling cases in Europe.
Why does the mysterious Major Kell of Military Intelligence need crack RFC fighter pilot Netherby Chase to transport him behind enemy lines?
‘You’ll tell me now or I’ll shoot you where you stand. It’s your choice.’
Flight into Secrecy
Can Chase save thousands of soldiers lives by intercepting Germany's latest chemical weapon before it reaches the front line?
‘Christ Almighty!’ Thought Chase, it’s a one-way death ride.
The Devil's Breath
Will Chase and his friend Marvin Lee discover what is the sinister purpose surrounding a consignment of shaving brushes that are due to be sent to troops in the trenches?
‘You can’t kill us both with that Major, so I say again, put down the Anthrax and put the pin back in the grenade.’
Spores of Death
Who shot a German prisoner in cold blood and can Chase solve the murder whilst his suspects continue to fly hazardous combat missions?
‘Right Captain, once you’ve buried the bodies get on and bury this investigation.’
Three Shots at One
Instead of recovering safely in a hospital, Chase finds that a favour for Major Kell may just cost him his life.
‘Welcome Captain Chase to the last two minutes of your life.’
Rest, Recuperation & Revenge
The war is over, so why is a heavily armoured train leaving Germany with a tanker of deadly gas and what can Chase and Marvin Lee do about it?
‘Why aren’t we all dead?’
Train Called Nemesis
What is Chase's Irish lover doing in Berlin when she should be back in Ireland and why will it change his life forever?
‘Yes, we’re all a long way from the Balkans. How is the Colonel?’
The Last Dogfight
Tatjana Putz, freelance Austrian Intelligence operative finds her life in danger after accepting an invitation from international financier Rudolf Faustus to attend a gathering at his Corsican villa.
‘Yes, rather nasty weapon of choice, someone obviously wanted to make a point.’
The Devil by Any Other Name
Can Tatjana solve how an oil painting of Hitler disappeared from its frame while under guard in the Albertina and why should the theft worry the whole of Austria?
'I don’t need the approach of a hangman for this mission.'
The Art of the Impossible
Gabriel Coltrane, Anglo-Spanish Interpol agent and the person they call in to solve the baffling case of how an entire passenger train disappeared between stations and why it could affect millions of people if he does not find it in time?
‘I take it that "Option two" is the problem?’
Next Station: Nowhere
