A tongue in the cheek spy novel wiith the action taking place in a fictional South East Asian country. Although all the persons and places in the story are entirely fictious, some of the events described in it are loosely based on the author's experience in British military inteligence as a young man during World War II and the post war years. But the actions in the book reflect the world we live in today in which acts of terrorism are in the news with frightening frequency. The book will make you laugh but the plot will keep your attention as the suspense grows until the final denoument.
