It's Egypt, October 1942. The battle for North Africa rages fiercely along the length of the Egyptian coast ...Punching their way deep behind enemy lines, the newly formed SAS - under the enigmatic Lt Col David Stirling - carries out daring raids against the Germans. Lt Tom Caine leads a small squad of SAS men on a desperate mission far into hostile territory. His brief: to sabotage a terrible weapon being secretly developed by the Nazis in the desolate Libyan hills ...If he fails the Axis forces will almost certainly be unstoppable. Caine faces the full force of the German military might, but what he doesn't know is that there is a traitor among his own men. Ultimately, his fate will rest in the hands of one woman, Special Ops agent Betty Nolan. Only one thing is for certain in this war - who dares wins...
