A New Kind of War - Dr. David Audley, Bk 17 - Large Print Author:Anthony Price Lt David Audley is recruiting men for the TRR-2, an army unit which is ostensibly searching out advanced German technology in the ruins of the Reich. But TRR-2 is really hunting men. When Captain Fattorini of the Royal Engineers bumps into Audley in Delphi, he finds himself recruited. — Set mainly among a group of British Army officers in Germany... more » in August 1945, this new thriller by the author of The Labyrinth Maker exemplifies the truism about war: hours of boredom punctuated by moments of terror. Capt. Fred Fattorini of the Royal Engineers, member of a powerful British banking family, wonders why a small English detail breaks the civil war truce in Greece in February 1945. He doesn't find out until he's assigned to that same special unit, called TRR-2, in occupied Germany.
Fattorini remains obsessed with the incident, trying to ferret out the truth from his "mad" colonel, various fellow majors (his own promotion is a mystery to him) and the boyish, loquacious Capt. Audley. Only after an exercise in lifting a German DP scientist, in which the British double-cross the Americans, does Fattorini discover what is really going on: a British attempt to co-opt high-level German scientists from under the noses of the Russians and uncover a Russian operative in their midst.« less
