Egypt, 1939
When John Warrey agrees to act as navigator for a trans-Saharan expedition led by the famous photographer Margo Cartwright, he has no idea what he is getting himself into.
What begins an exotic adventure quickly turns into a grim battle for survival.
The Italian Colonel Umberto comes to the rescue just in time, but their safety is jeopardised once more by the discovery that Margo is in fact a British secret agent.
Back in England, John’s courage and ability attract the attention of the intelligence service alongside Margo’s recommendation.
After some gruelling training he returns to Cairo to spy on Il Duce’s men and make contact with Senussi tribesmen – potential British allies – under the guise of a typewriter salesman.
When war breaks out, John and Margo are caught up in a web of intrigue and action as the Desert Rats storm towards Tripoli, only to be halted and thrown back by Rommel’s Afrika Korps.
Many prisoners are left behind - John and Margo among them - facing betrayal and death on every side…
Will they evade death once more or is this finally the end?
Stop Rommel! is the fourth novel in The Sword Series, which has proved itself to be a compelling, fast paced and action packed WWII saga.
