Sicily, 1943: TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY, DIRTY DEALS MUST BE DONE...

With North Africa secured, the Allies launch an invasion of Sicily, and the 2nd Battalion, King's Own Yorkshire Rangers are in the vanguard of the assault on the Italian beaches.

But promotion to Company Commander has brought fresh trouble for Jack Tanner. Not only has his new Battalion Commander decided to make his life as difficult as possible, but they soon find themselves battling against some of the toughest, most determined troops in the Wehrmacht.

In the bitter fighting that follows, Tanner witnesses a new reality. Forced to question the cause for which they have fought so long, Tanner and his trusted sidekick, Sykes, find themselves embroiled in a deeply personal fight, in which they have to use all their resolve, skill and experience if they are to stand any chance of survival...

Another brilliant addition to the series, yet again Jack Tanner's past comes to bite him in the back. Who else wouldn't mind sacrificing hundreds of men just to have the chance at killing one for something that happened years and years ago with out anyone noticing? yes the British Army! once again all the action scenes are brilliant and to detail , just the side story lacks a bit, but still worth the 5 stars

Once again Jack Tanner defies all odds

Not as strong as some of the earlier ones particularly Odin but an enjoyable romp all the same. You cannot go wrong with James Holland the master of the genre.

Nice story
