Used very good.
Summer 194l. The tiny isand of Malta, held by the British,
has become the most bombed place on earth. It is a crucial supply point
for the Allies. The Germans and ltalians want to destroy it.
For the fighter pilots of the RAF defeat seems almost certain. They are
outrumbered in the air, short of food and drink and weakened by troical disease.
Two flight commanders, Englishman Kit Curtis and American Ossie Woltf,
make an unlikely alance. Curtis is ldealistic while Wolt, by contrast, is ruthless,
a gifted ace thriving in the chaos of imminent invasion. But as each man is tested
to the limit, they come to share a common purpose and fresh understanding.
The experiences of these pilots and their comrades are vividly
conveyed in a novel of compeling pace and power. By turns
brutal, funny, tragic and heroic, this is a spell-binding tour de force,
a brilliant sequel to the bestselling Blue Man Falling.
