Occupying various obscure outposts in the mountains around Mt. Etna, Battron and his intelligence team has observed and reported on German columns rushing toward the Allied invasion beaches on the western part of the island. They have even directed several air strikes from British bombers causing costly bloody damage. After one especially destructive raid, Battron's group decides it is now time to give up their positions and retreat to the west and the safety of the advancing Americans. Anticipating this, a German intelligence officer named Essenbeck sends columns of German and Italian troops into the mountains to track them down. At the same time a barbaric Mafioso and his minions pursue them with even more determination, with the purpose of recovering a beautiful young woman captive who has attached herself to Robert Beck and fled with the team. Pursued by elite troops, blood-thirsty gangsters, observation planes and even a lone panzer, Battron and his friends must fight their way to the west to survive and fight another day. !
