Voices on the Wind -- Assault

By Helena P Schrader

Early 1942: control of the Suez Canal and access to Middle East oil depend on the fate of an island just 17 miles long by 9 miles wide: Malta. Determined to destroy the British forces threatening Rommel's supply lines, the Axis powers drop more bombs on Malta than London endured throughout the Blitz. The population is forced underground, while the RAF struggles with inadequate resources to fend off defeat. Meanwhile, Britain's Atlantic lifeline is fraying....

Voices in the Wind follows four of Malta's defenders: Senior Intelligence Officer and former Battle of Britain ace, W/Cdr "Robin" Priestman; WAAF SigInt Officer Candice Weld, sent out from Bletchley Park to "man" the only X-machine outside the UK; F/O "Ned" Nettleton, a Beaufort torpedo bomber pilot engaged in suicidal attacks against enemy shipping; and Chief Officer Stevie Mackay of the British Merchant Navy, fighting to keep Britain's own supply lines open.
