by Todd McLeod, Eric Meyer

Overview

82nd Airborne has fought hard, through France, through the Ardennes forest, until they face the most daunting obstacle. The border of the Third Reich.
Operation Varsity is the largest airborne operation in history. 1st platoon lands outside Alsdorf to block any attempt by the Germans to rush reinforcements toward Aachen, the intended destination for the 82nd main force.

The town is reported to be undefended, except by a few demoralized Hitler Youth. From the moment they land, when PFC Ray Cassidy and PFC Harry Byrd land on top of a German sentry, to their advance on the town, things start to go wrong. More wrong than anyone could have imagined. The town is defended by demoralized Hitler Youth. But nobody mentioned the company of hard-bitten Wehrmacht troopers, veterans of the Russian Front. Up against overwhelming odds, sandwiched between fanatical Nazis and an incoming USAF bombing raid the battle rages, whilst for Ray Cassidy, it becomes a personal crusade for vengeance.

Heroes of the 82nd Airborne Book 10 – Fire and Fury is the tenth work of shortread fiction set during the Second World War in Europe. The book is a collaboration between Todd McLeod and Eric Meyer, the bestselling author of more than fifty war novels.

About the Author

Eric is UK author of over fifteen books. He is a graduate of University College, Cardiff, where he studied politics. He served part-time in the Commandos, the Royal Marines Reserve, reaching the rank of Colour Sergeant. During his service he was seconded to take part in and lead a number of sensitive and classified missions, as well as undertake instructor assignments in a number of Special Forces schools. During this time he pursued a full-time career as an independent coach and consultant, working with various blue chip and smaller organisations. Eric Meyer has developed a specialty as a motivational coach, and drew heavily on his military experience to give his clients the tools for leadership, initiative and audacity that are the mark of the small unit commander.

Working with a number of authors and experts, he has been co-writer on a number of self-improvement and motivational titles. 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. He is also a keen runner, and has achieved success in a number of road and off-road races, including fell-running, the challenging sport of competitive running across hill ranges in the countryside. Throughout his career he has combined his extensive and growing knowledge of military affairs with his zest for the latest motivational tools to produce novels that will both thrill and entertain the reader. Current projects include research into the causes and progress of the war in Afghanistan. Currently, Eric Meyer is a full-time novelist.
