April 1941. Across occupied France, the net is tightening.

Twenty-eight hours after leaving Mina Postner behind, Michael Fernsby turns back.

He should be heading towards England with the intelligence gathered from beneath Paris. Instead, he and Ben Townshend know the women they left behind cannot outrun the search closing around them. Rose is wounded, Madeleine has few options left, and Mina will not abandon either of them.

Returning is not an order. It is a choice.

And it may cost them everything.

In London, the Special Analysis Unit has been breached. Ruth Collins has been attacked inside one of the most secure intelligence rooms in Britain, and the only file taken points back to Paris, to Calder, and to decisions someone is desperate to bury. As Senta Postner reconstructs the missing evidence from memory, Commander Redgrave begins to understand that the danger is not confined to occupied France.

It has reached Whitehall itself.

Across the Channel, Falken is no longer reacting to events. With Brandenburger commandos placed at his disposal, the hunt for Michael Fernsby and Mina Postner becomes systematic. Broad sweeps give way to targeted strikes. Safe houses become liabilities. Every road, village, and contact carries a price.

As Michael and Ben help Mina and the others move further south, the breach inside the Special Analysis Unit begins exposing fractures within British intelligence itself. Unit 317 is drawn into the investigation as evidence emerges that someone inside Britain’s wartime apparatus may be working to contain the truth behind Paris.

But survival alone is no longer enough. In Lyon, Mina is drawn deeper into a resistance cell preparing an act of sabotage that could seriously disrupt German operations, even as Falken tightens the net around them.

From the aftermath of the Paris catacombs to the resistance networks of Lyon and the escape routes leading towards the Pyrenees, Somport is a tense wartime thriller of pursuit, betrayal, sacrifice, and survival, where every choice narrows the path ahead and every mile south brings Falken closer.

Somport is the next gripping instalment in the Fernsby’s War series, perfect for readers of Robert Harris and Ken Follett, and readers who enjoy tense, historically grounded wartime thrillers.

Please note: the current Amazon release date is provisional. Somport is planned for release in Summer 2026, and the later date has been set to allow flexibility during production.
