In March 1945, 86 German Prisoners of War - many of them ardent Nazis - managed to pull off the largest-scale escape of the Second World War. The story of that escape, from Camp 198 in Bridgend, South Wales, has been told in the author's fact-based account "The Greatest Escape".

Of those 86 prisoners, 70 of them made it away from the wire, some managing to travel as far as Southampton, The Forest of Dean and, tellingly, Canterbury in Kent.

When the announcement was made across Britain that the escapees had been successfully rounded up and returned to captivity, nobody mentioned that four of the German officers remained unaccounted for and were still at large.

The Pursuit is the author's imagined account of what may have happened after the man-hunt was closed down and the file on the greatest escape of World War Two was officially closed.
