They're called The Glory Boys, by those who regard their exploits with envy or contempt.
January 1943: Glory Boy Bob Kearton
- already a veteran and survivor of the close action in the English Channel and North Sea - is ordered to
the
Mediterranean
and beleaguered
Malta
, a mere sixty miles from
occupied Sicily
.
Unexpectedly promoted to
lieutenant-commander
, he is given charge of a newly formed and, as yet, incomplete flotilla of motor torpedo boats.
Although the tide of defeat is thought to be turning, with the enemy no longer advancing along the North African coast, Kearton's is a new war of stealth, subterfuge, and daring,
in which the Glory Boys are only too expendable.
