Daredevil Geoffrey Mildmay's war record gave no clue. The man who knew him best wasn't sure of him. The women he loved were too blinded, or too bitter, to judge him fairly.
"To bloody red hell with the job, I say! Everyone watching me, never a moment to myself. How can a man know what he wants"
What he really wanted was beautiful, teasing Brenda. They wanted him to sink a battleship. So they used the girl to lure him.
Was the promise of even such a woman enough when the odds were all against his survival?
