World War II. On the island of Mindanao, the Philippines, a man calling himself General Fertig has set himself up as a guerrilla leader to harass the Japanese. Army records show that the only officer named Fertig in the Philippines is a reserve lieutenant colonel of the Corps of Engineers, reported MIA on Luzon. Still, the reports filtering out are interesting, and it's Marine lieutenant Ken McCoy's mission to sneak behind the lines and find out if he's for real. With him is a motley group put together as a compromise between the warring factions of Douglas MacArthur and the OSS chief Bill Donovan. Together, these men will steal into the heart of enemy territory and there, amid firefights and jungle camps, encounter more than they had bargained for. Before they're done, each will undergo a test of his own personal mettle - with results that will surprise even the most hardened of them.

This is one of a series of CORPS books by Griffin. I have enjoyed each and every one of these. In England some have been hard to obtain but Albris has come up trumps and I now have every book that he has written. All most illuminating and enjoyable. It is a pity that the British Army was not involved in any of the conflicts as they might have been able to help!
