They were a small party, parachuted into the Jap-infested forests of Burma. Their mission: to blow up a vital communications bridge. But the whole job proved to be on a level higher than that imagined by Intelligence. And finally, there was merely one man left to fight on against both the Japs and the jungle. And his eventual safety was dependent on the silence of the local mission priest ... and of the strange and beautiful nun who stood mysteriously in the shadows.
