In the brooding medieval castle of Colditz located near the German border with Czechoslovakia, Allied prisoners of the Second World War devised every method of escape from twisting tunnels to an improvised glider flight from the dreaded Nazi-held castle.

Acting with faith and patriotism, the Allied soldiers break out and run toward Switzerland.

Captain Martin, who was severely burned in the crash, and his navigator, Hank Holt, find their way to Brusselman's escape shelter in Belgium. But they are pursued by Gestapo agent Arnwolf Mandel, a vicious Nazi whose own interests will be served if he can capture these wounded Americans.Mandel's hunt sets off a harrowing chase all the way to the French seaside town of Calais, where Jack Martin learns by surprise that the goodness of God is still at work, even amidst the treachery of men.

The true story of Colditz, a prison to which Allied officers were sent after trying to excape from Germany, and of the many attempts by the P.O.W.'s to escape. Written in an historically accurate, yet often hilarious style.
Determined to find an answer, Jack and Michelle Townsend set out on a quest to find the original ending to the Gospel of Mark. Following ancient clues, they head for Rome, but what starts out as a scholarly search turns violent as two separate groups strive to stop the Townsends, plunging their quiet research into chaos. After a bomb destroys their office, the Townsends are pushed to the limits of their determination and commitment to God’s will. Can faith in God’s purposes endure in a swirl of conspiracy and espionage that brings the couple to the brink of death? "This is a story of well-hidden biblical secrets that have endured throughout the ages and of a couple's devotion to finding the truth. It's a story fraught with death, danger, and deception--of never knowing who to trust, and with a twist of an ending I didn't see coming. Great read!" --Sharon Sala, author of The Searcher's Trilogy: Blood Stains, Blood Ties, Blood Trails
"Reinhold Eggers one of the German staff who was Security Officer during the last years at Colditz. It is a compilation of the most spectacular escape attempts written by the escapers themselves. Eggers supports the stories with extracts from his Colditz diary which ran to 26 copybooks, with stories about the German staff and their characters, and a short account of the end of his war when he became a prisoner himself. It has some memorably funny moments (especially the tale of Max and Moritz, who filled in on parades), some very sad moments, and some descriptions of escapes that are truly astonishing"--Publisher's description.
