'The Solomon Islands, astride the lifeline from America to Australia, looked ready to fall to the advancing Japanese.  Vital information was needed and to secure it Mullane and Vokes had to venture into the very heart of the Japanese-occupied area of Rabaul.  Along the way they picked up two unwanted passengers: a German missionary bishop and a badly injured Japanese general, sole survivor of an air crash.

It is an adventure story with fully-rounded characters whose fate becomes as important to the reader as his own.  It is Jon Cleary at the top of his form.'
