To a Deadly Chase - by Douglas Roberts (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In a time where the British Empire's sovereignty is at risk from Imperial Japan's ambitions, Captain Stock of the Royal Engineers finds himself deployed to the frontlines in Burma. Journeying there is no simple feat-travelling by steamer around the Cape of Good Hope and traversing India's expansive terrain by train are feats in themselves, made even more challenging by persistent enemy interferences.

Upon his arrival, Captain Stock's engineering prowess is immediately put to the test. Tasked with constructing airfields in hostile environments, he faces perilous conditions ranging from dense, mosquito-infested jungles to crocodile-laden ravines. But before he even picks up his tools, he's confronted with the challenge of saving an entire village on the brink of annihilation.

Joining forces with American troops, Captain Stock helps fend off relentless Japanese attacks. His resourcefulness and indomitable will make him an invaluable asset in organising his own battalion. But even amid the adversities and constant threats, Captain Stock finds fleeting moments of peace-mirroring his encounters back in Europe that led him to love.

Unyielding in his duty and unwavering in his resolve, Captain Stock emerges as an unsung hero in an almost forgotten theatre of World War II. His harrowing experiences are not just feats of survival and bravery; they are a testament to the power of ingenuity, partnership, and the human spirit.

Dive into this gripping narrative of Captain Stock's epic struggles, wartime innovations, and enduring bravery.
