Sinopsis

This fast-moving thriller is set during the early days of World War II.
By April of 1942, the few remaining defenders of the Philippines are bottled up in the crumbling tunnels of the island fortress of Corregidor, stoically enduring round-the-clock bombing in a desperate attempt to prevent the Japanese from taking Manila.
Holding out despite dwindling supplies are soldiers, sailors, nurses, and civilians caught in the war's awful web.
Among them lurks a Nazi spy in the guise of a Navy cryptographer.
This dastardly, clever espionage agent has not only managed to commit several murders, but is also gathering intelligence to pass on to the Axis.
When the intelligence officer begins to suspect the cryptographer, he passes his doubts along to his roommate from the Naval Academy, Lt. Ace Ingram.
As Corregidor falls, Ingram and his brave crew escape from Manila harbor and begin a perilous journey dodging Japanese patrols in pursuit of the spy.
They make their way south through villages and hidden coves, escaping danger in a death-defying chase. ..M.F
