The Rock of Gibraltar protrudes from the Mediterranean Sea, a hulking limestone outcrop that sends the surrounding Spanish mainland into shade. Ever-present, it is a constant reminder that it is there and it doesn't belong to Spain. The threat of invasion is also a possibility... This is where this novel comes to its own. How would you respond to an invasion of your homeland? Fight or flight? This story is about the fight back. David v Goliath. This is a work of political fiction however based on reality. Gibraltar, the tiny little British overseas territory that happens to border itself on the south of Spain. Does this mean it belongs to Spain? Some seem to think so... The political obsession of returning it to Spain are all absorbing for some, believing its their innate right to rule the rock. Despite over three hundred years of British rule and the Gibraltarian choice to remain British, a potential "Falklands War" is a realistic and underlying threat. Battle for the three miles is an absorbing and entertainingly good read that tackles this reality through the fictitious hostile invasion by a renegade, far right battalion of soldiers. The story unfolds with the subtle introduction of the main character that then blends into a transformation from the ordinary to the heroic. Bullying tactics from a bigger power leads to unity in fighting the oppressor. This innovative and exciting story starts off gently then peaks in a crescendo of action and passion. Survival instinctively motivates the characters ascent from the ordinary to the extraordinary. An ingenious roller-coaster ride that one hopes will never become a reality.
