Crete, May 1941. A strategic hotspot poised between Europe and Africa, and critical to control of the Mediterranean. Newly arrived on the island, Jack Tanner soon finds trouble brewing. Not only does he have a new subaltern, Guy Liddell, who seems determined to make life difficult, but he has also offended a powerful local Cretan warlord, Kristannos, who has sworn to kill him. Suddenly and without warning, the Germans hit the island, and the unprepared British forces are plunged into chaos and disarray. Tanner and the rest of his battalion are soon caught up in vicious close-quarter fighting against the elite paratroopers spearheading the Nazi invasion.Leading a counter-attack, it is Tanner's B Company that drives the enemy back.But their success is short-lived, the defences are slowly but surely crumbling, and once again, Tanner, Peploe and Stan Sykes find themselves faced with another bitter retreat. Having been safely evacuated from the island, the destroyer on which they have escaped then takes a direct hit from the marauding bombers of the Luftwaffe. Tanner and his fellows are forced to swim to shore where they must flee to the mountains and to the only man who can help them u Kristannos.To make matters worse, when a battalion of German mountan troops arrives on the island, Tanner soon finds himself face to face with an old enemy, eager to settle the score. In Blood of Honour, Tanner finds himself embroiled in a deadly game of survival that will test his resolve more than ever before.
