In this continuation of the Shields High: Siege of Malta series, the Ottoman Turks arrive on the tiny island of Malta in May of 1565 AD in massive numbers and seek the total destruction of the Knights of Saint John. The Christian defenders have three main strongholds to hold- and the smallest of them, the Fort of St. Elmo- becomes a thorn in the side of the Sultan’s plan, and threatens his entire strategy to take the island and then invade the European mainland.
