Mark Russell has established himself with the OSS, and his career flourishes. Too bad his personal life has gone so terribly wrong. Emotional exhaustion has caused him to sever all relations with his longtime love, Rhonda Childress.

Meanwhile, Rhonda languishes in OSS bureaucratic purgatory at the Russian embassy in Washington, D.C. What must she do to rebuild her relationship with Russ? And what about Lukas, her German lover and anti-Hitler intelligence officer?

Russ travels to war-torn Europe, Rhonda observes the Russian Front at the Battle for Kursk, and both risk their lives during a nighttime evacuation from Nazi Germany.

With death and destruction all around, Russ and Rhonda cling to a hope they will survive the war.

But if they live through the final days of World War II, will they find each other once again in the peace?

Reviews

  • "David Tanner’s Surrender on a Forgotten Isle is brilliant historical fiction .... Rhonda Childress is the kind of protagonist a reader can root for, since Tanner shows her measuring a mission by the lives it may touch. Mark Russell is drawn with the same decent center .... For readers who like World War II intelligence fiction with a side of romance, Tanner delivers the goods."
