It is 1918 and time is running out for the mighty German army ...

The Americans have joined the war in numbers as the British and French forces face another bloody onslaught.

The Germans are preparing for a last roll of the dice. They intend to split the French and British armies, drive a wedge between them, then charge for the Channel ports. The British will have to sue for peace. The French will be hammered by the brutal German war machine.

The British need more intelligence if they are to scupper the plan. Once again, they need Daniel Byrne and his fearless Special Operations unit - The Knaves.

The Knaves are a crack unit made up of childhood friends from the mining towns of the northeast of England. They are to be sent on perilous missions behind enemy lines as the war comes to a head on France's ravaged fields.

Byrne's men must once more fight, not just for their lives, but for the survival of everything and everyone they hold dear. Daniel finally comes face to face with his nemesis as he foils the plot to sabotage the Armistice.

In the concluding book in his military adventure series, AAG Whitehead's Pals War: The Hundred Days Offensive, skilfully blends historical fact and fiction in an all-action tribute the The Great War's unsung heroes. The pals experience the horror of war in all its macabre, frightening and tragic glory. But mixed with the horror is a journey of discovery of self, new lands and the true meaning of friendship.
