Derek Robinson Orden de los libros (cronológico)
Derek Robinson es un autor británico célebre por sus novelas de aviación militar, distinguidas por su potente humor negro. Su obra profundiza en los aspectos más crudos de la historia, particularmente en los eventos menos discutidos de su ciudad natal, Bristol, y se extiende a guías sobre rugby. Las narrativas de Robinson se caracterizan por un examen agudo y, a menudo, satírico de la naturaleza humana bajo coacción. Explora magistralmente temas de coraje, camaradería y las absurdidades inherentes al conflicto, todo ello transmitido a través de una voz narrativa distintiva y un sentido cautivador del ritmo.

A Classic Derek Robinson story: three groups of men converge for a final battle in the western desert during World War II. An SAS patrol travels through the Sahara to attack a German airbase hundreds of miles behind the lines; a German intelligence officer, with a personal grudge to settle, plans to play the SAS at their own game. And our old friends from Hornet Squadron (A PIECE OF CAKE) are overhead - only just - now committed to suicidal ground-attack missions to satisfy their commander's determination to keep his job. Note: First published in 1992.
