About This Book
A young man raised under a rigid military ethos is transformed by wartime service in East Africa. The story follows his enlistment, voyage and garrison life at Mombasa, moving through naval and military manoeuvres, convoy duties, trials and combat, as rivalry and hardship test his character. Alongside action, domestic entanglements with a former family associate and a developing romance unfold amid the stresses of war, forcing decisions that probe honour, duty and personal attachment before the narrative reaches its resolution.
