Publisher's summary

As World War II reaches a tipping point, one heroic family is determined to help turn the tide.

"A sweeping, wonderfully crafted saga...Jackson has created a masterful, enduring tale." (H.W. "Buzz" Bernard, award-winning author of When Heroes Flew)

Feeling the mantle of duty lying heavily on their shoulders, the Littlefields are pushed to their limits, in the much-anticipated third installment in the after Dunkirk series.

The Blitz is in full force.

Bombs rip relentlessly through London, destroying buildings, and rattling confidence.

How much more can the country - and one family - take?

As Britain falls further into chaos, the Littlefields - ever-dedicated - must keep fighting. Their country needs them now, more than ever, and each sibling will be tested in ways they never imagined.

Jeremy prepares to fly a mission without his trusted Eagles. But the sudden capture of someone he loves will force him to choose between fulfilling his duty, and following his heart.

Still held as a POW at a high-security facility, Lance grows more, and more desperate to make an escape.

And thousands of miles apart, Claire and Paul - both armed with top-secret war intelligence - experience a similar struggle: They know more than they can say. And that knowledge places their siblings in grave danger.

Meanwhile, at home and under German occupation on Sark Island, the Littlefield's parents struggle as food becomes scarce, and the fire in their bellies is joined by a gnawing hunger.

Then, in a move that shocks the entire world, Germany invades Russia.

But is it really a surprise to Churchill?

What will it mean for Britain, and for the Littlefield family?

Turning the Storm is a can’t-miss, action-packed addition to the saga of four daring siblings, willing to sacrifice everything they hold dear, in order to save their country - and do each other proud.

Critic reviews

"...compelling fiction is masterfully woven in with the actual events of Britain’s Darkest Hour.” (John J. Gobbell, author of The Last Lieutenant)

"[Jackson]...deftly balances the deeply personal stories of his characters with the action packed story of the Battle of Britain." (Commander George Wallace, USN (Ret.), author of Warshot and Operation Golden Dawn)

“There is intrigue and action galore, but also true and gripping personal depth in this remarkable story...set during the earliest desperate days of World War II.” (Don Keith, author of Final Bearing and Only the Brave)

Keep Going

Another grand entry in the series. Yes, the characters are beyond perfect and the narration somewhat cheesy at times (my opinion) but the overall story is enthralling and I thoroughly enjoyed the immersive characters as history unfolds at their feet. Was looking for something to rival Winds of War and while this may not equal Wouk’s epic it is a worthy addition. Intriguing insight into the Resistance across several continents all the while demonstrating the British determination and allied fight. Jumping right into the just released volume 4. Keep them coming!

I disagree with whoever Said to skip this book

This book is very essential in the series. So much would have lost if you never read/listened to it. characters added some old were lost . Nothing candy coated and just enough romance to make me look forward to listening. Never cared for aviation before but found myself looking up the different war planes Allie’s and axis alike since this is historic fiction I went to internet quite often to look up things I wasn’t familiar with. Like Sark island, Roosevelt and church hills various speeches, conditions of prisoners of war living condition. Allies far more human than nazis. Interesting characters in high command both sides . If you skipped this you will be lost and confused.buying part 4 now

Action-packed WWII story!

After listening to the audiobook for Turning the Storm I felt as if I had somehow stumbled on a time machine and had been transported to the early years of WWII in Britain and Europe. To say this story is interesting or addictive is a real understatement. Typically, when I listen to audiobooks I’m multitasking, however once I became mesmerized by this story anything that might interfere with listening to the story was put off until I was done listening. Was it worth writing off a full day? For sure, and I’d do it again just to relive all these moments from history with a cast of characters who I felt like I was accompanying on their adventures. In fact, I think I’m going to invest a few audible credits in getting the rest of this series so I can listen to each of the preceding volumes. Steve Rausch took an excellent story and elevated it to awesome with his narration and character voices.

Overall just ok — too long

Can be tedious on the military maneuver details. Story of family ok, they are all overly heroic and perfect. Needs a very big editing job, much is superfluous. Would have been great to have several narrators, this narrator really grated on my nerves with several of his “voices.”

skip this book

long-winded book about nothing but the lead up to Pearl Harbour. a very meandering plot with few highs. poor narration.
