OverviewFebruary 1942: as Japanese invaders sweep across the Pacific, a handful of British, American, Australian and Dutch ships prepare for a last-ditch battle in defense of Java. Not only is the Allied force doomed to defeat: any surviving ships will be trapped, since escape routes south and west are blocked.Nick Everard, commanding the cruiser Defiant, is badly wounded and his ship heavily damaged. Back in Surabaya after the battle he also has a surviving US destroyer under his wing. Two ships and their companies face destruction and either death or captivity unless he can find some way out of the trap. To do so will - once again - call for all his unconventional tactical sense and audaciously brilliant seamanship. But simultaneously another Everard is involved in a knife-edge struggle for survival. In the Mediterranean, Nick's son Paul is in a convoy attempting to fight its way through to Malta.
