Full of mounting suspense and masterly characterisation, Bates's popular wartime novel tells the story of three very different men who, after their aircraft crashes, are forced to trek across the Burmese wilderness to safety. It is reissued by Methuen along with "The Jacaranda Tree" and "The Purple Plain" and to coincide with the re-publication in one volume of Bates' acclaimed autobiographies - "The Vanished World", "The Blossoming World" and "World in Ripeness".

Review:
"'One of the most exciting and perfectly executed pieces of fiction that I have ever read' Spectator * 'It haunts you, alike for the queer and mounting suspense and for the masterly portraits of the three men' Sunday Times * 'Few writers have a more exact feel for texture - of a flower, a face, a silence - and it is this that has value,' Spectator * 'H. E. Bates can achieve a quality of lyrical intensity that few contemporary novelists can match' The Times Literary Supplement"
