Life in the small supply depot in North Africa was quiet for Nick Hart. He was miles away from the war and nothing exciting ever happened. But that wasn’t going to last for long.

On the island of Sicily, there was a secret cave — the Cave of Hercules. Hidden for centuries, it was rumoured to contain treasure beyond price. And now one man, Horace Gee, had cracked the ancient clues and worked out just exactly where it must be. But there was one big snag — the cave […]
Captain Chris Blower and his company of British paratroopers were assigned a dangerous mission in enemy‑occupied Sicily in 1943. As if that wasn’t tough enough, an American colonel had got in on the act. A real‑life film star with an inflated sense of his own importance, he knew too much about future invasion plans for […]
