July 1943. The Allies are storming Sicily, and Private Daniel Kennedy is about to discover that freedom can be more dangerous than prison. A year earlier, Kennedy was an ex-con with one impossible dream. To fly. The Army gives him wings, but not in the way he expected. Instead of a cockpit, he's thrown into the 82nd Airborne and hurled into a bloody invasion. Landing on the wrong beach, Kennedy survives machine-gun fire, dive-bombers, German armor, but after the death of the man who led them, he leads a suicidal charge into a German machine-gun nest. His courage catches the attention of General George Patton, who hands him a mission that sounds like another death sentence. Take a handful of exhausted soldiers fifty miles behind enemy lines and destroy the fuel depot supplying Germany's feared Tiger tanks. With enemy patrols closing in, Kennedy must trust two wary Sicilian guides and Chiara Bianchi, a formidable partisan commander fighting to protect her homeland. But betrayal has exposed their objective to ruthless German general Heinrich Stahlmann. He responds by flooding the mountains with troops and tanks, with orders to crush them. As the mission spirals from sabotage into a desperate battle across ancient towns, mountain roads, guarded bridges, and enemy airfields, Kennedy is forced toward the sky he's always dreamed of. At the controls of a stolen German aircraft he barely knows how to fly. A desperate gamble to stop the Panzers, save thousands of Allied lives, and protect the woman he's come to love. A full-length novel by Eric Meyer, bestselling author of many Spec Ops books. These include the popular 'SEAL Attack' series, Grant's War, SEAL Team Bravo, Heroes of Afghanistan, Raider, Echo Six, and Devil's Guard.
