Condition: book: Very good, jacket: Unblemished, page: Good, markings: No markings
New Guinea, 1942. Massive impenetrable, unknown. A land of black magic and yellow gold where the lucky made quick fortunes and the unlucky disappeared without trace in the jungle. Here a man could make a new life far from the prying eyes and probing questions of the city bureaucrats. Peter Cayman thought he had managed just that, until the planes suddenly appeared from the sea and the sky at noon was filled with the blood-red sun of Japan. For Cayman and a motley group of civilians and members of the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles there was no way out: trapped between the headhunters in the mountains and the attack boats of the Japanese invaders, they had the stand and fight.
