Set in Burma and southern China, this story begins in Burma, just before the start of World War II, and follows the Japanese invasion and the disasters that befall the British Army.
One bright spot in this drama is the American Volunteer Group (AVG) Flying Tigers who join in the defense of Rangoon. These events are the backdrop to the main story, the beginning of the American espionage effort in Asia that becomes known as the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).
Young journalist Harry Ross is sent to Rangoon by “Wild Bill” Donovan. His primary mission is to establish an espionage network and monitor the effectiveness of the Flying Tigers.
When Rangoon falls, the action moves to Kunming as does Harry's stable of sexy and resourceful agents. Readers are well rewarded with a cast of characters from Tai Li, Chiang Kai-shek's espionage chief, to Medal of Honor winner and AVG pilot Greg Boyington.
The book will appeal to readers of military and espionage fiction, and to anyone who enjoys a good adventure. 365 pages. Softcover. 6 x 9. September 2009.
