5839: No Surrender!
Egypt, 1942. The war in the desert was as hot as the blazing sun, with the Italians fighting the British in an all out battle for supremacy. The Long Range Desert Patrol was an ace in the hand of the Brits, and their raiding parties went behind enemy lines to cut off vital supplies to their Italian opponents.
Little did they know they would soon be fighting shoulder to shoulder for survival against a common enemy – the German Afrika Korps!
They say the enemy of your enemy is your friend, and boy does that theory get put to the test in this thrilling story! Friends will be betrayed, and unlikely alliances will form – you certainly won’t want to surrender your copy!

5840: The Sands of Fear
Lieutenant Bill Johnston had real trouble on his hands – in the shape of a know-it-all Yank out on patrol with Bill’s tough, desert wise LRDG men, who just didn’t take to big heads. And the American, Lieutenant Schnabel, thought he knew the lot.
So, as well as the desert and the Nazis, Bill had to tame Schnabel too. It looked like being some patrol...
No one likes a know-it-all – especially in a combat situation! Another brilliant cover by Ian Kennedy graces this rip-roaring tale of desert combat, and what can happen when you bite off more than you can chew.

5841: Codename Warlord: Six of the Best
Britain’s finest spy, Lord Peter Flint, is on another top-hole adventure!
After Warlord’s most disastrous mission yet, Flint ends up as the number one target of ‘six of the best’ assassins the world has ever seen!
But why does the phrase ‘six of the best’ seem familiar to him? Who is the mysterious sixth assassin who is an ‘old friend’ of Flint’s?
Will these questions be answered – or will this be the end of Codename Warlord?!
Peter Flint’s return sees him battling some of the world’s greatest killers, all while speeding through Europe on an overnight train! Masterfully stylised by Carlos Pino and with yet another whip-smart script by Dominic Teague, this is one issue you’ll want to get onboard with!

5842: Someone Must Lead
Cut off from their unit by the Japanese and in company with a leaderless group of Gurkhas, two British soldiers had to decide which of them would take command. Should it be Private Herbie Green, a seasoned veteran and the company scout, or Private Bob Chandler, a newcomer to the jungle?
The choice seemed obvious, but there was more to the situation than met the eye.
From the desert to the jungle by way of a sleeper train, our final issue of the set shows a slightly different side to the Second World War in Asia. Not only that, it’s also our second Ian Kennedy cover of the round!
