Calum Laird introduces They Came By Night.
Nowadays Commando writers have it tough. In our 50 years, loads
of plots have been used, and they have to try really hard to find a
new angle on things. Back in 1961, though, when Commando first
broke cover, the writers had a very open field to work with.
So you might think that this sixth story to come out would be
very straightforward. If you did, you'd be wrong. It has ships,
subs, bombers, recce planes, a lighthouse…and even a carrier
pigeon.
Even when they've got it easy, Commando authors just can't help
writing cracking stories.
