South East Asia – 1965
For Petty Officer Gerry Elwood, life aboard the mighty Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Eagle represents the culmination of his dreams. The work is hard, but the young sailor savours every moment. For him, the Eagle is his home – the place he loves more than anywhere else.
When Gerry is selected along with a group of his fellow sailors to assist the Army in a remote jungle outpost, his world is turned upside down, and what was supposed to be a routine operation transforms into something sinister and deadly.
From defending the base from insurgents and rogue soldiers, to dealing with orders that seem designed to break his spirit, Gerry faces the struggle of his life – not only to stay alive, but to keep a hold of his sanity.
Will he ever make it back to his beloved Eagle?
