Sinopsis

1942: Amid the Siege of Malta, one of the most crucial battles in modern history, only extraordinary courage and willpower can turn looming defeat into victory.áThe war in the Mediterranean, 1942: The outcome of World War II hangs, as Churchill says, by 'a slender thread.' Erwin Rommel, HitlerâÇÖs 'Desert Fox,' is poised to defeat the reeling British army in Egypt and thwart AmericaâÇÖs first operation in Europe. Only the tiny, embattled, half-starved Mediterranean island of Malta stands in RommelâÇÖs way.áWill heroism and devotion be enough to stave off the implacable forces of HitlerâÇÖs all-conquering Third Reich and MussoliniâÇÖs new Roman Empire? And, as the battle rages, the relentless strains of war threaten not only the survival of Malta but also the survival of Johnnie and EleanorâÇÖs relationship. Will their future together be yet another casualty of war?áJohn Rhodes, author of the award-winning Breaking Point series, weaves the fictional story of fighter pilot Johnnie Shaux and military strategist Eleanor Rand into the heartbreaking, inspiring historical fabric of World War II.á
