Hong Kong. The British administration is preparing to hand the capitalist colony back to Communist China with the minimum of fuss.

But while the vets are preparing to take the country by storm, their paymaster, Anthony Chung, puts the final touches to an audacious betrayal. The future of Hong Kong is at stake . . .
