In the brutal theater of World War II’s Pacific campaign, Colonel John Adam Harrison, a handsome, battle-hardened American officer from New York’s Upper East Side, is sent on covert intelligence missions across Southeast Asia and Australia. Amid the chaos of jungle warfare, naval battles, and crumbling empires, John finds fleeting solace in the arms of extraordinary women—each beautiful, courageous, and unforgettable.
From the sultry nights of Sydney and Melbourne to the dangerous shadows of Manila, Java, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Saigon, Rangoon, and Hanoi, John shares intense, passionate encounters with nurses, journalists, resistance fighters, dancers, singers, and heiresses. Every liaison is raw, explicit, and deeply emotional—bodies colliding with desperate hunger against the ever-present specter of death.
As the war nears its end, John returns to Darwin and reunites with Ivy, the Australian nurse from his first night of abandon—now carrying his child. In one final, heart-wrenching night of love, they confront the future they might share.
A searing erotic odyssey of lust, love, and loss set against the backdrop of history’s deadliest conflict.
