About this listen

Crete, May 1941. In the face of a German invasion, Sergeant Jack Tanner is embroiled in a deadly game of survival that will test his resolve more than ever before. Not only has he fallen out with his commander but he has mortally offended Alopex, a powerful local chieftain. As if that wasn't enough, Tanner and the rest of his battalion are caught in vicious close-quarter fighting against crack German paratroopers. Before long, they find themselves in bitter retreat to the mountainous interior where only one man can help them - Alopex. Although whether he will come to their rescue or not remains to be seen...

Loving this series. I feel we know the boys well and I find myself laughing everyone Sgt Sykes opens his mouth. By book 3 you know ow he’ll get his hands on a large cache of explosives. I’m now wondering if he’s killed more jerries than Tanner!?
Banters spot on though probably less swearing than reality. Certainly the lads swore like troopers in the 90s. I’m pretty sure
Many of them had Tourette’s!

James Holland has done it again. Exciting fiction with a strong historical base. Holland’s insights into WW2 surpasses Beevor’s and Hastings military history writings. New evidence of British military incompetence at the highest levels are not surprising, especially with the Army. Crete should not have been lost and Holland is correct in his analysis. Narration is excellent as well. Can’t wait to listen to the next in the series.

Excellent. Fiction based upon historical facts
