Rommel.s Peace, a sequel to Wells. first novel, Rommel and the Rebel, is based on Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.s plan to contact Eisenhower and arrange a ceasefire. Shortly before D-Day, Rommel releases U.S. Army Lt. Max Speigner from a German POW camp and sends him to England as peace envoy. Rommel wants to stop the fighting. The British want to kill him. Speigner is caught in the middle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lawrence Wells is a master of the 'what if' genre of literary fiction. Based on historical evidence, Rommel's Peace is a compelling, fast paced and fascinating look into what might have been. Had Rommel's ceasefire been allowed to flower, the dreadful casualties of D-Day might have been avoided, and the course of history forever changed."
    Winston Groom, Forrest Gump

"This novel began tightening its screws from page one, with Rommel compromised, trapped and vulnerable. Mr. Wells blends history into fiction with an alchemy that is entirely his own. A hell of a good story, one of the best I've read in a long time."
    Tom Franklin, Hell at the Breech

(Abridged edition) 410 pages

In 1937, Wehrmacht Colonel Erwin Rommel tours Civil War battlefields and studies the tactics of Confederate cavalry general Nathan Bedford Forrest. His guide and interpreter is a U.S. Army intelligence officer, Lt. Max Speigner. In 1941, when Rommel.s panzers are pounding the British army in North Africa, Speigner is assigned to British military intelligence and launches a desperate duel of wits with the Desert Fox.

-----------------------------------------------------

"This highly imaginative and skillful novel belongs with the works of the true creators."

    James Dickey, Deliverance

"Mr. Wells knows his Civil War history, and his ability to breathe life, texture and, more important, dimension into the reconstruction of the clash of arms makes this a unique and genuinely rewarding book."
    Washington Times Magazine
