The days of the Third Reich are numbered - but on an isolated island outpost in the middle of the English Channel, the German army has vowed to fight to the death. Under a brilliant, ruthless S.S. commander, the Nazi invaders have turned the once-peaceful island into an impregnable fortress. The mission of Owen Morgan, British soldier of fortune, is to lead a ruffian band of hardened commandos onto the island in a bold move that could destroy the enemy once and for all - and destroy themselves as well.

I picked this up for a summer read a few years ago. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but it delivered a lot more than I anticipated. Fast-paced plot, cardstock characters (but in a good, pulp-fiction kind of way), and an interesting story. Looking for a book for the beach? This is a good one for sitting in the sun and vegging out to some rays.
