Book excerpt: IN THE HEART OF BATTLE YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES: 'DEATH' OR 'GLORY' Libya 1942 - Rommel's Africa Korps is sweeping across Northern Africa. The ragged Allied forces engage the enemy in brutal fire-fights on the scorched desert sands. Meanwhile, the Allied commander-in-chief sends a desperate coded message to the Prime Minister - the courier is First Officer Madeleine Rose, WRNS - codename Runefish.
