An action-packed World War 2 adventure, you won't want to stop reading!
 
A group of Special Air Service (SAS) raiders embark on a behind-the-lines mission to destroy a secret German base.... Their success or failure may well define Montgomery's victory.... or Rommel's triumph.
 
North Africa 1942
 
Major Lawrence is a highly revered officer in the newly formed Special Air Service (SAS). His commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel David Stirling, orders him on a mission of vital importance. Intelligence reports the discovery of a secret German base filled with petrol and munitions.
 
"Under no circumstances can we allow Rommel to receive these supplies," Stirling tells Lawrence. "Sort your team, get kitted, locate this base.... And destroy it!"
 
But the information comes from an American Liaison Officer, Captain Jack Ruggero, who stumbled across the base while escaping being taken prisoner at the fall of Tobruk. So far as Major Lawrence is concerned, the Yank might well have hallucinated this entire story.
 
When Captain Ruggero, is ordered to participate with the SAS in their search for the enemy base, his world is turned upside down. This 90-day wonder has fought hard to keep far and away from the frontlines of battle, only to now find himself in the thick of the fray.
 
Travelling into the harsh terrain described as hell-on-Earth, the SAS raiders face enemy planes, Bedouin spies, heat, thirst, cold frigid nights, sandstorms, and the ever-present annoying flies that pop up everywhere. From the onset, their mission leaves them to wonder if they can meet this tall challenge. But as they say.... Who Dares Wins!
 
Will the SAS raiders locate the German base in time to destroy it before the Battle of El Alamein commences? Or will Rommel receive the petrol and munitions in time to achieve victory?
 
 
'Jack of Spades' is a heart-pounding 'World War Two Story' combining fiction with historical fact. Readers will find it an adventure you are sure not to forget.
