The war in the Mediterranean intensifies…
Summer 1942
After evacuating South African troops from Tobruk, Lieutenant Jack Pembroke and his small escort ship, HMSAS Southern Gannet, join a secret convoy from Egypt to relieve the beleaguered island of Malta.
But powerful German and Italian forces have been assembled to make sure the convoy does not get through.
And Jack must navigate his way through a fierce naval battle before finally arriving in Malta.
With Southern Gannet badly damaged and many other casualties falling to the enemy, the remains of the convoy return to Egypt, leaving Jack and his men behind with their ship.
And soon he finds himself caught up in the local resistance, chosen to lead an attack on a nearby island…
Can Jack make a difference in Malta? Will he lead his men to safety?
Or will they fall prey to the dangerous forces lurking in the Mediterranean…?
