mbarker(An introduction to a podcast...a free audio story from Baen!)
The 1940 headlines don't really tell the story. The New York Times claimed, "Yankee Doodle and Dixie Belle Escape from Nazi Metahuman Research Laboratory during Dunkirk." The Manhattan Daily Tatler covered its front page with two headlines in the largest print that would fit, "Pride of the US Metahuman Forces escapes Nazis! Yankee Doodle Lights up the Sky While Dixie Belle Kicks Krauts Butts!"
None of the American papers or even the British papers came close to the real story, but the Scotsman ran a humorous piece on an inside page that almost had it. That piece started out, "Did MI6 add a wee drop of Scotch to Dunkirk? Scotsman claims little black knife sent with troops."
No one saw Sgian Dugh that day. No one, that is, except a French resistance fighter, a gypsy metahuman captive of the Nazis, Dixie Belle and Yankee Doodle. But this is the story of how the little black knife of Scotland freed the pride of the US Metahuman Forces that day, the day of the miracle of the little ships of Dunkirk.
Now, at last, you can hear the real story of that day. So before you visit Baen's Webscriptions to get your own copy of Invasion: Book One of the Secret World Chronicle, listen to the story of the little man who wasn't there.
