Crete, May 1941. Against all odds the Everards must survive a
relentless Luftwaffe assault.The situation is dire for British
forces in the Mediterranean. Their ships, with no air cover, have
to run the gauntlet of 2,000 German bombers; and can only lick
their wounds under cover of darkness. Nick Everard commands the
destroyer Tuareg as it ventures well inside Stuka territory. There
they are ordered to evacuate a body of troops, plus an Australian
field hospital and thirty nurses, from right under the Germans'
noses. The soon-decimated flotilla has to make it round the Aegean,
then out of Crete - but only a miracle can save them! Last Lift
from Crete combines gripping personal drama with incredible naval
action, and is a must-read for fans of Alistair MacLean and C. S.
Forester. Praise for Alexander Fullerton'Impeccable in detail and
gripping in impact' Irish Independent 'His action passages are
superb and he never puts a period foot wrong' Observer 'The
research is unimpeachable and the scent of battle quite
overwhelming' Sunday Times
