About the book

He tried to think of his wife and found that he could not. The things of which she was a part, his house, his friends, had ceased to exist. He was a man alone, transported into a strange land with death for its frontiers: alone.. Graham (his first name is never given) has been sent to Turkey by the British government to work on an engineering project for the Turkish navy. It is 1940, and certain parties are far too interested in Graham's project - and they have decided to remove him from the picture. Permanently.
