Description
June 1940. With England on the brink of invasion, a reluctant young hero leads a team of robot commandos to take the fight back to the enemy, but with dissention in the ranks, a traitor in their midst and his nemesis hot on their heels, the odds are against them.
June 1940. After an insanely heroic rearguard action, Jack Stone and his friend, Billy Briggs, escape Dunkirk by the skin of their teeth with the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force, leaving Jack’s nemesis, General Ernst MÃorder, immolated but alive. As France falls, Great Britain’s invasion appears imminent. Haunted by his brother’s death at MÃorder’s hands, Jack is recruited by Winston Churchill to lead his first team of commandos. In Berlin, Adolf Hitler resurrects MÃorder, an old comrade, ordering that he oversee a top-secret project in Norway. Hell-bent on revenge, MÃorder is re-born, concealing his disfigurement with a grotesque crimson samurai mask. Flown to the Scottish Highlands to meet their team, Jack and Billy join Brigadier Charles Hastings and sassy American scientist, Doctor Cammy Sullivan, who introduces them to the Tin Can Tommies-four humanoid machines who fought for the Allies during the Great War-nicknamed Lancaster, Hurricane, Mosquito and Spitfire. Jack and Cammy bond as Lancaster stubbornly resists Jack’s command, and Billy starts to befriend the robots. While Jack remains unconvinced, the team slowly bond under the dutiful eye of their gritty drill instructor, Mungo McNulty, who is killed when Hastings reveals himself to be a quisling during the Tommies’ graduation celebration, handing MÃorder top secret documents before committing suicide.
