Issue Description
Mountain men - each one of them - a sergeant, a corporal and a private, all trained for war, but each a highly skilled mountaineer in his own right.
Their difficult and dangerous mission was to find a VIP Brigadier who had been kidnapped by the Germans and hidden high in the Italian mountains before being hustled to Berlin. Within hours the British mountain troops were hot on the trail.
But when men who climb together fall out, when accidents breed suspicion and distrust, every sheer rock face can spell - sudden death!
Introduction
If there's one thing that the 63-page format and our style of story-telling allows, it's plenty of twists and turns in our plots. This one is about mountaineers, so why is there a floatplane on the cover?
A cracking cover it is too. Ken Barr's use of light and shade to lead the eye to the main characters lifts it from good to great. Inside artist Solbes isn't found wanting either; the faces in here are full of expression, the figures full of energy and movement.
The explanation for the floatplane? Ah well, you'll have to read this book to find out. And preferably buy it too!
