Sinopse

The 50th anniversary edition of this classic World War 2 adventure set in south-east Asia. 
February, 1942: Singapore lies burning and shattered, defenceless before the conquering hordes of the Japanese Army. 
The last boat escapes out of the harbour into the South China Sea, and on board are a desperate group of strangers, 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 a nightmare succession of disasters wrought by the hell-bent Japanese, the unrelenting tropical sun and, ultimately, by the survivors themselves, as they head south by Java Head. 
Alistair MacLean, the author of this best-seller, masterfully weaves a story of suspense and action. The adventure unfolds as the desperate group battles not only the hell-bent Japanese and the unrelenting tropical sun, but also their own secrets. 
For fans of Frederick Forsyth (The Veteran), Nevil Shute (A Town Like Alice), Ken Follett (The Armour of Light), Edward Marston (The Railway Detective's Christmas Case), and Eric Ambler (The Mask of Dimitrios).
