"When a young Japanese fighter pilot is shot down and captured in the 1942 Darwin bombing he knows in his heart he should be dead. Duty is heavy as a mountain death as light as a feather. That's the Military Code and it means fight to the death never surrender or you'll bring a bitter shame on yourself and family.He conceals his true name to protect his family. Suicide is a possibility but he's drawn away from his military indoctrination by experiences with ordinary Australians drawn towards living out his own individuality.But the young bride he left behind had vowed she would kill herself if he died. He could write to tell her he lives but would that reveal his cowardice shame his family. Must he sacrifice his individuality to join the growing number of Japanese prisoners in their ferocious plans for a murderous and suicidal breakout?"--Publisher.
