Gold Run

"Pretty much everything you could ask for in an adventure story, except it is all real, a series of events that actually happened and which did come to what I might describe as a 'happy ending', or a successful one at least." ~Military Modelling

"a very fine effort elucidating an important event in World War II that few outside of Norway now remember. Combined with the new exhibits in Oslo, the book is timely and welcome" ~Sun News Miami

"Pearson covers secret meetings, close calls, fire fights, air raids, sea battles, and more, in a tale that could easily make for a very good motion picture thriller. He also gives us some insights into how Norway managed to steer its way through neutrality during the “Phony War,” and adds a quick overview of the country’s role in the World War II. This is a very good read for anyone." ~StrategyPage

"Reads like a thriller, and worthy of Hollywood attention, surely? Robert Pearson's excellent book has everything. A forgotten consequence of the Nazi occupation of Norway." ~Books Monthly

"It certainly makes for a lively story." ~Miniature Wargames

“Reading like a thriller, it is a very exciting story that has been very well told. It offers a very impressive example of applied intelligence, careful planning, bluff and bravery. A wonderful read.” ~Baird Maritime

"… this is a fascinating story..."
