Luke Under Fire: Caught Behind Enemy Lines
Fight, Escape, Survive
“My insides are twisted into a knot, and every artillery blast tightens the knot so I can hardly breathe. Nobody said anything about a war when cousin Charley and I signed up with the British army. Thought we’d see the world—have an adventure. Now, I’m lying on the ground, aiming my rifle across an empty field, waiting. We’ll be in a battle with the German army any minute. I’m a good shot. At home in Michigan, I won a trophy at our county fair. But I’ve never shot at a man.”
It’s 1914 when Luke Sawyer finds himself in the first major battle of World War I. Ordered to “resist to the end,” Luke fights to save his friends, dodge enemy bullets, escape a German prison, and evade heart-pounding danger behind enemy lines. History will call it The Great War. Luke must survive it!
