August 1942. Raging metal burned hot under the scorching desert sun. But a grudge between two Aussie tank commanders boiled even hotter. Sergeant Bob Andrews hated Sergeant Simon Meredith, but when Bob’s tank was knocked for six and he saw Meredith leave him high and dry — his rage exploded fivefold. The coward had abandoned […]
No guts! That’s what they said about young Harry Bishop, and that’s why he was demoted to being a buckshee driver in a twenty‑five pounder gun crew instead of commanding one of his own. The one person left to believe in Harry was — Harry. So he pinched back a gun from the Germans, and […]
Follow the trail of red, he-man blood into the white heat of the man-killing Western Desert, and you’ll come across a hero… a little runt of a hero called Hank Hale, the one they all laughed at. All, that is, except the Nazis he met up with in the desert. For dead men seldom smile… […]
On the ground or in the air, they were a pair of fighting fools. On civvy street, Mike Tulley and Terry Stark were bitter rivals for the middleweight boxing title.

As the winds move the dunes to and fro, whole villages vanish or are brought to the light of day again. Sometimes even whole cities are lost for hundreds of years — like the ruins that Luke Cope and […]
When the bullets start to fly a man needs to be very quick or very fortunate if he’s going to get out of the way. Peter Reed reckoned he was one of the fortunate ones — after all, the lucky charm he carried in his pocket had seen him safely through a lot of hard […]
