Publisher's summary

The British MI5 faces off against Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists as war threatens Europe.

Brinley Knight has a photographic memory. Bored with his mundane job, he accepts an offer from MI5 to become a full-time spy in a shadowy world of espionage. As Britain stands at the edge of war, Brin learns to his cost that "defending the realm" means duty before family.

Hitler’s fifth columnists in Britain emerge from the darkness as Germany’s military might eyes new territories east of the Rhine. German spies, aristocrats, politicians, wealthy businessmen, anti-Semites, and fascist groups operate in opulent dining rooms and in the back alleys of London’s East End. Menacing predators, they hunt for information that could aid the Führer’s ambitions and stoke fires of division between the Jews, Communists, and British fascists.

Britain is already at war, as the government tries to hold the political parties and British public together before the streets of England burn with hatred and revenge.

Critic reviews

"Petken delivers a high-octane spy thriller. Nobody in this story is who they seem to be. The reader will be stunned by one shocking revelation after another."—Marion Kummerow, author of the USA Today bestselling series, Margarete's Journey

“Petken delivers a knockout spy thriller. Fast-paced and filled with suspense, this book has all the ingredients to keep readers enthralled from the first page to last. Epic in scope, it’s another winner.”—Alexa Kang, USA Today bestselling author of the Rose of Anzio series

“Jana Petken is a master of WWII fiction. Well-researched, her books never disappoint. The Man from Section Five is a powerful and captivating suspense that grabs you from the first page and does not let go until the very end. A true page-turner.”—Kathryn Gauci, #1 bestselling author of The Secret of the Grand Hôtel du Lac

No Good

A very weak storyline, poor characters. Not sure why I stuck it out and listened to the end but very disappointed. The reader did a reasonably good job

There are two kinds of people in this world, those who finish what they start, and
