A venerable RAF Bombay takes off from a temporary desert airstrip during Wold War Two, it's cargo partially stationery supplies, and partially human, as a small contingent of soldiers boards the aircraft, one in handcuffs, as part of a prisoner transfer to an impending court martial. When a lone Luftwaffe Messerschmidt shoots the Bombay from the sky, the only survivors, Captains McBride, (the prisoner), and Poole, (commanding the escort), are suddenly thrust together in a new fight, this time for their own survival. Kevin Cowdall has produced an excellent, edge of the seat tale of suspense and intrigue, as we follow the two men's trek through the desert in search of their own personal salvation. Along the way, they encounter not only the obvious enemy in the form of German Army patrols, but other, less easily identified risks, which you must read for yourself. In addition it soon becomes quite clear that all may not be quite as clear cut with regards to the story of Captain McBride, the officer from the LRDG (Long Range Desert Group), as Captain Poole begins to learn the truth behind his prisoner's incarceration. This book had some special significance for me as my own father served with the 'Desert Rats' during the Second World War, and was one of the original members of the LRDG. This is a great story, brilliantly told, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to readers everywhere.
Equally entertaining is the accompanying short story, Flanagan's Mule, set during a 1950s South American mining disaster. Can inveterate Irish drunkard Flanagan and his plodding old mule make it past bandits, jungle and almost impassable mountain pathways to go to the aid of the trapped miners? A super short read that serves to highlight the author's talent for creating stories of nail-biting tension.
