Malta Inferno TPB

Lieutenant Jack Pembroke’s most dangerous mission yet. It’s the summer of 1942 and the fate of the Mediterranean hangs in the balance. After evacuating South African troops from Tobruk, Jack and his small escort ship, HMSAS Gannet, join a vital and secret convoy from Egypt to relieve the island of Malta, which is under siege. Powerful German and Italian forces have been assembled to make sure the ships don’t get through and the course of the war could well be determined by this mission, codenamed Operation Assegai. However, reaching Malta is just the beginning. Gannet is chosen for a daring raid on an enemy-held island and the crew must join a commando in a lightning strike on a radar facility. It’s a dangerous – but crucial – sortie with the odds heavily stacked against Jack and his men. And while his love affair with the Spanish beauty Alana is taking on troubling overtones, Jack is haunted by flashbacks to the mayhem of Dunkirk.
