Crete, 1941: THE NAZI HAMMER IS ABOUT TO FALL ONCE MORE...

In the face of a German invasion, Sergeant Jack Tanner is embroiled in a deadly game of survival that will test his resolve more than ever before. Not only has he fallen out with his commander but he has mortally offended Alopex, a powerful local chieftain.

As if that wasn't enough, Tanner and the rest of his battalion are caught in vicious close-quarter fighting against crack German paratroopers. Before long, they find themselves in bitter retreat to the mountainous interior where only one man can help them - Alopex.

Although whether he will come to their rescue or not remains to be seen...

Jack Tanner's adventures continue in Hellfire.

Plenty of action... sharp dialogue and swift characterisation. The whole is intelligently structured so that this is absorbing and thoughtful as well as tense and exciting

A good old-fashined action hero makes his appearance in this page-turning thriller... James Holland, a respected military historian, has produced a story authentic in every detail
