About this ebook

Lieutenant Colonel Bernard Stock, a Royal Engineer veteran, finds himself at the heart of an extraordinary mission—one so clandestine, it has the blessing of Winston Churchill himself. Commanding a vast workforce in Burma, Stock's responsibility is daunting: construct his twenty-second airfield behind enemy lines. But when he's called back to headquarters for an unexpected negotiation with a Japanese officer, the weight of empires hangs in the balance. Though the enemy captures and tortures him, the mission's secrecy is never compromised—or so he believes.

Fast forward sixty years, Stock languishes in a poorly-managed elderly care home, his glory days seemingly forgotten. New medication revives not just his health but also buried memories. A mission uncompleted beckons, and time is suddenly of the essence. News of an upcoming 'World Peace Day,' featuring a high-profile apology from Japanese dignitaries for wartime atrocities, adds urgency. The world watches, oblivious to the ticking clock of Stock's mission, a plan teeming with unexpected turns and nefarious obstacles—from inept ministers and corrupt officials to family misunderstandings.

With the help of his grandchildren and driven by a soldier's resolve, Stock races against the odds to complete his decades-old mission. As he confronts the Japanese delegation on a stage set for world-wide viewing, the question isn't just whether he will succeed, but what the reverberations will be, echoing down the annals of history.

Dive into this gripping tale that shuttles between wartime bravery and present-day intrigue. Experience the life of Bernard Stock—his unfinished mission, his unyielding resolve, and a legacy written across the pages of history. Don't miss this riveting story of honour, family, and the inexorable march of time. Get your copy today to journey through a tale that transcends eras, offering a unique lens into the complexities of duty, memory, and unfinished business.
