BOOK TWO IN THE SHADOW SERIES: HIDEOUT IN THE SWAMP

D-Day, the Allied invasion of Europe, raises anew the hopes of millions in German-occupied territory, but it also raises to unprecedented heights the atrocities of German terrorists and the treachery of their fawning servants. To escape impending doom, thousands seek refuge. With ingenuity born of desperation and hope, some hastily erect a shelter in the middle of a swampy peat bog, protected only by fog, water, secrecy, and prayer . . .

About the Author: Pieter Jongeling

Mr. Jongeling was born in the northern part of The Netherlands and studied to become a teacher. He indeed did teach for some years, but soon became the international correspondent of a Dutch newspaper. In 1942 he was arrested by the Germans and sent to a concentration camp. After the allied victory in 1945 he returned to The Netherlands and became one of the most important journalists and politicians in The Netherlands. For many years he was the editor of a Reformed Christian daily newspaper, in which he wrote most of his children's books as serials under the name Piet Prins. The first thing many people read when the newspaper arrived was these serials. In 1963 Mr. Jongeling became member of the Dutch parliament for the Reformed Political Alliance. One commentator mused: "What makes Jongeling such a remarkable parliamentarian? That's simple. The man works like a horse! He is always fully informed. When Jongeling speaks, the house listens."

Both as a journalist and a statesman, Pieter Jongeling knew himself bound by the inspired Word of God and as such his labour has born much fruit.
