Rise of the Maquis

With Europe in turmoil due to the tyrannical reign of Germany, a small group of brave resistance soldiers fight from the inside to save France from being taken over completely. Together, this ragtag group of individuals, including an English SOE, band together to form an alliance; this band of brothers is a family thrown together through necessity. Hiding in plain sight, they form a bond that no one, not even Hitler, can break. They even have the support of Pablo Picasso, but will it be enough to get through the war unscathed? With their black-market supplies and procured weapons at the ready, these men and women will fight for their country, for their freedom and for their lives.

Charles.G. Fournel

Charles grew up in a small seaside town in Suffolk, England. He is a divorced, devoted father of two. He started writing short stories at the age of ten and has since expanded his genre to World War II. He has family connections in both the Allies and Axis during the war. This is the reason for his extended interest in that era. He has grown to have great respect for resistance groups who, without any military experience, took up arms for their country.
