Spoils of War II - The Sicilian Adventures | Austin Macauley Publishers

Glenn looked up from the fantastical script he was reading. He was incredulous at this exciting adventure left by his war hero, granddad Victor, who passed away a year ago to the day. Glenn thought his last treasure hunt was the ultimate escapade until he read this crazy adventure of derring-do and sheer willpower to survive.

He had no idea his granddad had been a protagonist of the Sicilian Invasion and at the start of the liberation of Europe half a century before. This tale takes Victor and his pals through the battles of Sicily, the love story that was the foundation of his family, the recovery and hiding of more treasure and the final challenge to his grandsons to go and find it.

It leaves a tantalising prospect of glory, but can Glenn just take off? Of course he can! So, he reconvenes the gang and begins an adventure of passion, discovery, kidnapping and survival...
