The Falling Shadows

di Richardson Ian (Autore)

Ian Richardson, 2025

Crete, 1941. A sun-scorched island becomes the crucible where elite German paratroopers are dropped into a nightmare of gunfire, chaos, and desperate survival. For Gefreiter Lukas Weber, the jump over Maleme is the beginning of a battle that will tear his unit apart, test every shred of courage he possesses, and leave him questioning the very meaning of victory. From the slaughter in the olive groves to the brutal night assaults against unbroken New Zealand defenders, Weber and his comrades claw their way through terror, exhaustion, and loss as the fate of the entire invasion hinges on a single airfield. When the line finally breaks and Crete falls, the survivors are not hailed as heroes—they are tools, spent and bloodied, sent on toward a new darkness rising in the East. Raw, visceral, and unflinching, The Falling Shadows is a soldier's-eye descent into airborne warfare at its most violent. A story of comradeship, sacrifice, and the haunting cost of a victory won too dearly—where every step forward leads only deeper into the storm.
