Description
1942: At the Siege of Malta, one of the most crucial battles in modern history, only extraordinary courage and willpower can turn looming defeat into victory.
The war in the Mediterranean, 1942: The outcome of World War II hangs, as Churchill says, by “a slender thread.” Erwin Rommel, Hitler’s “Desert Fox,” is poised to defeat the reeling British army in Egypt and thwart America’s first operation in Europe. Only the tiny, embattled, half-starved Mediterranean island of Malta stands in Rommel’s way.
Will heroism and devotion be enough to stave off the implacable forces of Hitler’s all-conquering Third Reich and Mussolini’s new Roman Empire? And, as the battle rages, the relentless strains of war threaten not only the survival of Malta but also the survival of Johnnie and Eleanor’s relationship. Will their future together be yet another casualty of war?
John Rhodes, author of the award-winning Breaking Point series, weaves the fictional story of fighter pilot Johnnie Shaux and military strategist Eleanor Rand into the heartbreaking, inspiring historical fabric of World War II.

Thank you net galley for the advance reader copy of this novel. This was a wonderful WWII read about the importance of Malta. Lots of historical details.
Ron B, Reviewer
An very good novel of the hardships faced by the people of Malta during the early stages of the war. The story is well developed and there is sufficient action to keep your interest. A good read.
Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Carissa M, Reviewer
A WWII fiction novel set on Malta which is a setting that I haven’t read before. I found it interesting and now I want to read more about the Siege of Malta.

This would be a great book for someone who is really into planes. The descriptions of the different planes and flying them would be great for a plane person to nerd over. It's written very much like a narrative non-fiction and you can tell it was very well researched. When people think about WWII, they generally think about the France, Germany, Poland area, but much of Europe was involved in this conflict and this book brings awareness to Malta and the North Africa region of the war. These stories are important to be told.
