Books by Vansant Wayne Vansant

From acclaimed comic writer/artist Wayne Vansant (CALIBER COMICS's Days of Darkness, Days of Wrath, Knights of the Skull). An action/adventure tale of the French Legionnaire soldier, Battron, "a man without a country", who is involved with the liberation of a freebooting French ship, the Martel, from a heavily guarded Vichy French port during World War II. The Allies want the ship destroyed; the Germans have sent serious resources and firepower to save it and keep it afloat. But a critical security leak in British intelligence could jeopardize not only the mission but Battron's life. The key is the beautiful former mistress of the Martel's captain, enlisted in the hope she can convince him to join the Free French movement with his ship. But has she told the Allies all she knows? And can Battron and his skillful commandos complete their dangerous mission in time under the looming shadow of the pending Allied invasion of North Africa? As things swirl around between the Free French, the Germans, and the German occupied French Vichy, a new player enters the fray...the Americans. Battron is caught between all of them in an attempt to secure the ship they all are desperate to obtain.

Days of darkness covers the darkest days of World War II - when the United States went from the tragedy of Pearl Harbor to the triumph at Midway. Covering in detail that attack and devastation of the American fleet in Hawaii, the evacuation of the Philippines, the horror of Bataan, and the dramatic Battle of Midway, which stopped the Japanese juggernaut in the Pacific. -- Back cover.
