Description
Lieutenant Ralph Trewin's arrival in Singapore is marked by tension and disillusionment. As second-in-command of the shallow-draught gunboat H.M.S. Porcupine, he finds himself at odds with his captain over the vessel's capabilities and the city's preparedness for war. The Japanese invasion of Malaya in November 1941 sets off a chain of events that forces Trewin and his captain to confront their differences and work together to salvage what they can from the impending disaster. Through their struggles, the gunboat becomes a symbol of bravery and pride, forged in the midst of chaos and despair. As Singapore falls to the enemy, Trewin and his captain must draw on each other's strengths and weaknesses to survive. This gripping tale of war, leadership, and loyalty is set against the backdrop of one of history's most pivotal moments.
