Prisoner of War
(1987)(Cameron's Troop Lift)
(Book 12 in the Cameron series)A novel by Philip McCutchan
Lieutenant-Commander Cameron is being tested: tested by his men, tested by the war and now tested by the weather.
When his destroyer, Caithness, is hit by a typhoon he is forced to make hard choices.
His choice to save a Japanese man washed onto the Caithness by the storm pays off, however, when it uncovers proof of Cameron's suspicions.
Somewhere out in the ocean, British prisoners of war are being shipped from Singapore to Rangoon and sold into slavery in the Burmese jungle.
It's only when he finds that slave ship that he realises the consequence of his actions.
With the British POWs on board, can Cameron risk attacking the ship?
As the two ships face each other in a gripping showdown, Cameron's choices come to mean more than he could have imagined.
'McCutchan's tightest, most inviting plot.' - Kirkus Reviews
'A first rate adventure series.' - Publishers Weekly
This book was previously published as Cameron's Troop Lift.
Philip McCutchan (1920-1996) grew up in the naval atmosphere of Portsmouth Dockyard and developed a lifetime's interest in the sea. Military history was an early interest resulting in several fiction books, from amongst his large output, about the British Army and its campaigns, especially in the last 150 years.
Genre: Historical
