On board are a desparate group of people, each with a secret to guard, each willing to kill to keep that secret safe. Dawn sees them far out to sea but with the first murderous dive bombers already aimed at their ship. Thus begins an ordeal few are to survive, a nightmare succession of disasters wrought by the hell-bent Japanese, the unrelenting tropical sun and by the survivors themselves. Soon it becomes a desparate battle of wills, and a battle of wits, to stay alive as they journey south by Java Head." --From the back cover 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305033829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE95FBC0CA0F11E4AE92C387DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
