A CLASSIC WARTIME ADVENTURE, WRITTEN BY A VETERAN OF THE NORTH AFRICAN CAMPAIGN.

A blistering S.A.S. desert raid behind enemy lines. Thirty-nine enemy aircraft destroyed. Now the real fight begins...
In the heart of the North African desert, Captain Alan Yeats-Urley leads his elite S.A.S. patrol on a high-risk mission to cripple Rommel's airpower. What starts as a bold, calculated strike erupts into chaos and a desperate struggle to escape.

The patrol's trucks break down under the strain, forcing tough choices and frantic repairs in the middle of nowhere. Men collapse from exhaustion and injury, their strength sapped by the brutal terrain. With every passing hour, the threat of ambush, airstrikes, or mechanical failure grows.

For the men there is only one hope. If they reach The Graveyard, a long-abandoned battlefield scattered with wreckage, they'll find just enough cover to disappear.

But time is against them, and the enemy is closing in fast. One wrong move, and they'll never make it out alive.

Perfect for fans of Sven Hassel, James Holland and Alistair MacLean.
