Knife Edge

This will be the fifth in the Blackwood Royal Marines series. The setting is fifties Malaya and Singapore, at the height of the new terrorist attempts to subvert the creation of the new federation. The Royal Marines, the Commandoes, were used in coastal and jungle operations at a time when it was said that the post-war promise of a stable and successful Malaya was on a knife-edge. There will be two Blackwoods in this story - a senior officer and a ranker!
