About this Book

Print Excerpt


"Je suis à votre service, mon capitain," the Belgian paratrooper said, coming to attention, and then added, almost as if he was embarrassed. "I speak good the English."

Lunsford went into the bedroom and came back with his rifle.

"That radio work?" he asked.

"Oui, mon capitain," the Belgian said.

"Then you get on it, and tell somebody important where we are, and to come fetch us," Lunsford ordered.

"Oui, mon capitain," the Belgian paratrooper said.

"You close the door," Lunsford ordered Jack. "We'll put the ladies back in the bedroom until the cavalry gets here."

"Yes, sir," Jack said.
