Summary

In February, 1942, following a narrow escape from imprisonment in Singapore, Corporal Carl Babcock finds himself left alone to weather the elements and avoid being recaptured by Japanese forces. He isn't an easy man to kill, but freedom from the frying pan may land him into the fire. WWII has reached the distant jungles of Papua New Guinea, and that's where the young corporal will soon find himself-venturing down the Kakoda Track with a small company of Australian infantrymen. Should the Axis advance to Port Moresby, their newfound power could turn the tide and usher in a dark age that might see Australia lose their freedom forever. The weight of the world shall soon bear down and push these men to their limits. Success will depend on Babcock's wits in pressing through a hellish landscape, and fighting against the ferocious Imperial Japanese Army. While death awaits them at every turn, so too does the opportunity to discover many things that the jungle might be hiding from them along the way.
