 Angel, Archangel by Nick Cook 3.62 of 5 stars 3.62 · rating details · 21 ratings · 3 reviews 23 The Allies are advancing on Berlin in the dying days of the Second World War, but the Russians are plotting much more than the end of the Third Reich. Operation Archangel's aim is for Soviet troops to blast their way straight to the English Channel. With fake Soviet tanks lined up near the German border in Czechoslovakia, two British spy pilots stumble across this elaborate charade. Wing Commander Robert Fleming and Rhodesian expatriate Piet Kruze become the front line in the effort to defuse the Russian scheme. But they must first penetrate the heart of the Nazi defences and steal the one weapon that can possibly destroy Archangel: the cream of the new generation of German jet fighter bombers.  Somewhere back in the mists of time I was born in Harrow, and spent most of my childhood there in the great sprawling metropolis that is Greater London. I grew up in a family where art was always a huge influence. Tapping into this, I finished college with a fine art degree tucked into my back pocket. Faced with the prospect of actually trying to make a living from my talents, I plunged into the emerging gamesâ™ industry back in the eighties. It was a start of a long career and I produced a graphics for many of the top selling games on the early home computers, including Aliens and Enduro Racer. Itâ™s really strange looking back at those early games and which look so crude now. But back then, trust me, they were considered to be cutting edge. As the games industry exploded into the one we know today, my career went supernova with it. I worked on titles such as XCom, and set up two studios which produced Warzone 2100, and the Conflict: Desert Storm series. I think I probably have somewhere in the region of forty published titles to my name. There are so many memories, both highs and lows, but an amusing one that springs to mind was after an interview about the latest film tie-in I was working on, a journalist headed the piece about me by saying: “Nick Cook is Indiana Jones.” I think he was being ironic.
