IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE YOU HAVE A CHOICE: DEATH OR GLORY . . .
Libya, 1942 – Rommel’s Africa Korps is sweeping across the desert. Ragged Allied forces are being torn apart in brutal fire-fights on the scorched sands. A desperate message to the Prime Minister is entrusted to First Officer Madeleine Rose, WRNS. Her codename: Runefish.
When GHQ hears that Runefish’s plane has been shot down behind enemy lines, they send for battle-hardened Sergeant Tom Caine. Caine is a first-class soldier who nearly always does what he’s told. He will lead a squad of specialist commandos into the heart of enemy territory and either rescue or execute Runefish. If he refuses to take this near-suicide mission, he faces court martial. Now the outcome of the war depends on his following orders.
Death or glory beckons . . .
Praise for Michael Asher…
