Publisher's Summary

Libya 1942 - Rommel's Africa Korps is sweeping across Northern Africa. The ragged Allied forces engage the enemy in brutal fire-fights on the desert sands. Meanwhile, the Allied commander-in-chief sends a coded message to the Prime Minister – the courier is First Officer Madeleine Rose, WRNS – codename Runefish.

When Runefish's plane is shot down deep behind enemy lines, GHQ must send in the commandos to pull her out. It looks like no more than a deadly fool's errand. Battle-hardened Sergeant Tom Caine is a first class soldier who struggles with obeying orders.

He must lead his small squad of specialist commandos into the hornet's nest – on a bloody mission that could change the outcome of the war….

An excellent read worthy of your attention

As the title suggests, filled with death and glory but if you look deeper there's so much more. The characters are fully fledged and the narrator does a wonderful job of distinguishing their tones and personalities. The description, details and metaphors made me feel at awe as they stressed the vast beauty of the north african deserts and mountians, the cruelty and severity of battle, and the tranquility and humor of the moments of peace between skirmishes. I've bought the other 2 books the author has on audible and plan to buy paper copies of the last 2 as they haven't made it to audible. If you enjoy military fiction then this story is a must for you.
