In this sequel to Blood Wings, U.S. Major John Randal, commander of
Strategic Raiding Forces, returns in Roman Candle, the second book
in a trilogy within the Raiding Forces Series about the Abyssinian
Campaign. Major Randal is raising a guerrilla army 600 miles behind
the enemy lines in Italian East Africa. In the north Col. Orde
Wingate will be leading a column of rag-tad band of Patriots to
install the exiled Emperor back on his thorn, out of the Sudan the
Kaid will be attacking with two Indian Divisions into the
mountainous Kern stronghold and from the south out of Kenya the
East Africa Force will be attacking up the Red Sea coastline to
clear it of Italians in order for the British Middle East Command
to qualify for Lend Lease. The Empire Forces are attacking against
at least 10 to 1 odds. The only hope of success is for Major
Randal's guerrilla army, called Force N, to disrupt the Blackshirts
lines-of communications and for the attacking army's to maintain
the element of surprise. At the last minute it is learned the
Italians have a master spy in Kenya. Unless he is discovered and
eliminated the invasion will fail.
