It's 1940. Britain is ravaged by war, and in a small town in Kent, in the southeast of England, six orphan boys decide to form their own rag-tag boy scout troop to help out on the home front. During an air raid, they man an anti-aircraft gun and manage to shoot down a German dive-bomber... and then capture the pilot!

Now they must go through rigorous training, meeting all kinds of secret inventors and future war heroes along the way.… (lisätietoja)
"The plot is intriguing, the characters are well developed, and the scenes are authentic...Operation Archangel is an enjoyable and insightful read. I was impressed with the author’s knowledge of combat. It brings an exceptional appeal to young adults connected with Boy Scouts and the ROTC."
"The way Dan Morales writes is a different style than most authors, which makes his book fun to read. He writes with clarity and care, making his book a ton more interesting to read than some books. This excellent story contains an action-packed adventure that I would recommend for teenage readers who enjoy historical fiction. Totally worth five stars. The Scouts of St. Michael: Operation Archangel is only the first book of the series with at least one more coming. Great book, I loved it."

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle— Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. —Prayer to St. Michael, the Archangel

The boys rushed passed him, in their prescribed order, and as Willy passed, he said “He’s just a Nazi spy that followed us from town. Stay inside, Vicar, we can handle this.” Vicar Davis was instantly frantic. “A Nazi spy? Good heavens. You’re twelve!” He cried. “Did you forget you’re twelve? We need a constable, or the army, not the Boy Scouts! Sisters! Sisters!”

With a last glance at the Warrant Officer and the words “St. Michael, be with me” on his lips, he closed his eyes tight and dropped from the aeroplane into the cold night sky over occupied France.
