Pursuing love after losing it, set against war
This is a sympathetic and very largely excellent story of a mercenary soldier who is sent to rescue the family of a Cambodian exile, now rich and living in the USA, who abandoned them when the Khmer Rouge took over, fleeing Cambodia and leaving them behind to their fate. The soldier himself has also been exiled from his family, as his wife disowned him following his part in a massacre for which he was court-martialled, leaving a daughter who never knew him and only discovers his existence upon her mother's death.What happens to them is played out against the background of the Cambodian war in the final days of the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent invasion of Cambodia by Vietnam with the consequent displacement of many refugees who flee the war by boat - the boat people.
The characters are believable and compelling. The only issue I have is that two of them meet untimely deaths, which I felt was unnecessary.... still, the fact that I identified with them so closely and felt sorry at their passing, does show the quality of the writing. This comment aside, it's a great story; and it's an important testament to a grim chapter of history that should not be forgotten.
Peter Forbes is an excellent narrator as always.

A little predictable?!
As always, Peter Forbes’ narration cannot be faulted. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading/listening to most of Peter May’s books but I did find Miss Elliot rather unconvincing. I realise she is young but her naivety on many occasions was unbelievable. Otherwise a great story but would have liked a few more sentences to produce a more satisfactory ending!

Peter May at his very best
I have read most of Peter May's work and have always admired his descriptive style and ability to string many storylines together but this book tops the lot. All action from the start, a REAL page Turner. Brilliantly read. I thank all concerned for bringing this book to Audible

Peter May never disappoints
Taken back to the 1970s. To the IRA and Cambodia. This story throws a light on those terrible times. Peter makes you care very much what happens to all the characters. At one point I was considering stopping because I could bare to find out what happened. But I stuck with it and was pleased I had. My nerves are in shreds but I wish there was a sequel :)

Excellent
Listened to all other books by the May Forbes combo and really enjoyed them too.
This one brought in a plethora of new agendas, which were covered so well.
Unsure that 18 year olds I know would drop everything but an interesting part of the tour. Hopefully, book 2 in due course?
