North Africa, 23 October 1942. The eve of El Alamein, the battle that turned the Second World War.
The greatest artillery barrage in history is about to be unleashed. Within twelve days the Axis forces will be in full retreat, their dreams of controlling the Mediterranean and seizing the Suez Canal shattered. In a photo-reconnaissance Spitfire Kit Curtis scouts German and Italian positions while Ossie Wolf is seconded to join a covert mission behind enemy lines. But as the battle unfolds they find themselves united in a desperate struggle for survival. And together they encounter Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox himself.
