When an Australian bombing mission goes disastrously wrong, plane tactician John and his fellow soldiers crash deep in the jungle - straight into the territory of the Dayak headhunters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTorak, a respected Dayak warrior, discovers the wreckage. While some tribesmen want to kill the surviving foreigners to protect their people, Torak recalls another outsider who once lived among them with honour. Guided by Dayak tradition, he spares the soldiers' lives - setting in motion a fragile alliance between cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack in Australia, the Army enlists anthropologist Tom Evans, who once lived with the Dayak, to assist in a rescue mission. Restless and eager to return to the people he admires, Tom plunges headfirst into the heart of the conflict - facing the unforgiving jungle, the Japanese army, and his own shifting loyalties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs John, Torak, and Tom's worlds collide, survival becomes a test of courage, trust, and the boundaries of duty and friendship. The storyline focuses on the numerous obstacles and competing cultural ideals the men face as Torak and other Dayak warriors guide John, Tom and the surviving soldiers through the jungle to a predetermined extraction site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 13, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48289058783481,"sku":"9781038357069","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/rL0GVrjCKe9781038357069.webp?v=1776258363","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-tree-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
