A nation on the brink of disaster. A devastating betrayal. When an unlikely duo is called to drill deep into foreign territory, will they do or die?
Cairo, 1942. SAS Sergeant "Black Jack" Hastings despises Nazis. So when he's picked for a make-or-break operation to recover a stolen prototype plane, the rugged New Zealander is keen to get his hands dirty. But after he meets his upper-crust pilot partner, he's certain the man is dead weight that will get them both killed.
Flying ace Frederick Balfour-Napier, DFC is determined to prove himself. But partnering with a boorish commando for a behind-enemy-lines suicide mission wasn't his preferred act of heroism. And the RAF Flight Lieutenant with a taste for the finer things in life feels the noose tighten when their training is cut short by the discovery of a double agent in their ranks.
Coming to blows with the pampered flyboy before they can even infiltrate the SS interrogation outpost, Hastings sees little hope that they aren't doomed. And Napier finds his confidence further shaken when a surprise attack leaves them stranded with few supplies a hundred miles off-course.
Will the two men learn to depend on each other's strengths before they fatally blow their assignment?
