Issue Description

Nigel Goodman of the Commandos had a big problem on his hands. In fact he had several problems. They were: three Allied generals, one German general, one Russian paratroop major, one major in the US Rangers. Quite a party! And he had to get them all safely to British lines in Italy.

Oh, yes, there was one other thing - he had a large chunk of the German army chasing him as well!

Introduction

One of Commando's great strengths is the diversity of its story-telling - although, of course, we're mainly known for tough, sometimes gritty, war tales. On occasion, however, it can be a welcome change of direction when an author - here veteran scribe* Alan Hebden - presents a breathless caper story such as this. The pace just never lets up, rather like a speeding train - which, as you'll soon see, is entirely appropriate. Featuring wonderful art from Gordon Livingstone and a superb cover from Ian Kennedy, this is one to savour.

Scott Montgomery, Deputy Editor

*This is a compliment!
