Publisher's Summary
Raiding Forces Small Operations Group with Colonel John Randal in command makes a night drop on the Italian-held Island of Castelrozzo, located a mile off Turkey’s southwest coast. The plan is to capture the island in order to use it as a base of operations for commando raids on Axis-held islands in the Aegean Sea. Admiral Sir “Razor” Ransom, the deputy commander of Operations (irregular), wants Raiding Forces to reorganize into a small-scale amphibious raiding unit to carry out pinprick raids. With Field Marshal Rommel’s Afrika Korps driven off the continent of Africa, gun jeep desert patrolling has come to an end. A major reorganization for future operations is underway. Instead of jeeps, the Raiders will transition to high-speed MAS boats, PT boats, and caiques. Major the Lady Jane Seaborn is shot outside the Gizera Restaurant. Commander Ian Fleming arrives and tasks Raiding Forces to carry out a Top Secret Golden Fleece mission. Raiding Forces carries out a night combat jump on Sicily to capture a vital bridge at Gela for Major General George S. Patton.
