Malaya, 1948. In the heart of the jungle, a band of Chinese communists is grouping together, mounting a series of raids and murders on isolated villages and rubber plantations. In Kuala Lumpur, Edward Fairfax, a para seconded to Intelligence, is preparing to outwit the elusive enemy.

As the threat of insurgency mounts and a State of Emergency is declared, Edward is plunged into a brutal jungle war that will test his courage, cunning, and endurance - as well as the hearts and minds of the people - to their limits. The risks have never been greater...
