The night the tow rope broke was the worst in Lieutenant Mike Hasting’s life. For when his glider crash-landed off target in Sicily, he was captured by a Sicilian brigand called Il Castello who dragged him off to a cave on the side of Mount Etna, the largest volcano in Europe.

And there, Il Castello already held an Italian, a German, a Canadian and an American — one man from each of the armies on Sicily who had ruined the brigand’s old way of life. Now he was ready to punish them… in his own cruel way.
