January 1944.

A convoy of Allied troops is steaming through the Atlantic, heading for Italy and a battle that could change the course of the war: Anzio.

But in London’s War Office, top strategists are faced with dire news. Intelligence reports that Germany has just begun to deploy a devastating new weapon, an air-to-sea missile, that could send the Anzio convoy to the bottom of the Mediterranean before it reaches safe waters.

In Scotland, Captain Callum Douglas of the Special Air Service — Britain’s toughest, most select fighting force — is summoned to a secret meeting.

The one hope for saving the convoy lies in a lightning SAS raid to sabotage KG 100, the Luftwaffe squadron that carries the lethal weaponry.

Douglas and his team of ten men, with a handful of local resistance fighters, will have less than ten days to plan the attack, in an area thick with Nazis.

They will have just a few hours to take out the biggest airfield in southern France and — if they can — get out alive…

Veteran pilot and military historian Robert Jackson turns to fiction with Attack at Night , a riveting story of World War II commando action.
