A Rude Awakening

Description

In this powerful addition to the legend of a sex-prone sergeant, Horatio Stubbs finds himself in trouble with women – and not for the first time. However, quite uncommonly, Stubbs seems to be enjoying a period of success, with a bevy of eager women who all want a piece of him. The whoring, boozing and army horseplay of this novel take place in serious surroundings. The year is 1946, and British, Dutch, Indian, Japanese, Chinese and Indonesian forces confront each other for possession of the island of Sumatra.
