The Berne Train succeeds in offering its audience a passport to the past. Its fast pace and rising action are built upon an historically accurate foundation that drops the reader at a linchpin moment in the 20th century: 3 weeks past the Normandy invasions of D-Day, and 3 weeks before the attempt on Hitler’s life.

The Allies are coming, the Nazis are entrenching, and the flames of the Second World War are about to become an inferno. At this moment, sides must be taken and no one can remain innocent — July 1944 was a month that changed everything, and The Berne Train follows its characters to the fates that await them.
