    Two young women, from different small countries, courted opposite ideological sympathies. Their family background in each case encouraged a particular stance. Severely though their ideas were held, they were nothing compared with the personal regard they had for each other.The large issues of the day ultimately compelled them to adopt the citizenship of a neighbouring country. The warfare in which they were involved led to their separate recruitment in contrasting naval and air force services that threatened an end to their relationship.Perhaps the time had come for them to go their independent ways.Over four years of distinguished service followed for both. During this time both women achieved exceptional notice in being among the first women to take the places of men. But adversities took their ultimate toll.

    Some people evidently found the humdrum pace of peacetime lacking in stimulation to satisfy their restless natures. Wartime had stretched their energies to such an exciting degree that anything that came with the peace was proving an anticlimax. They solved the deficiencies in their lives by turning against the way of life in their own country, while advocating an alternative they imagined could exist and consorting with others to promote their interests. Such was the making of a cocktail of intrigue, betrayal, double-dealing, unusual relationships, murder, recidivism, and sexual adventurism mixed with loyalty, resolution of purpose, risk-taking, recantation, resourcefulness, and love that this novel explores. The unbelievable lengths adopted by people for the promotion of their evil, or at least unbecoming purposes, had to be met by ingenious measures to frustrate or to take advantage of them in an ongoing dialogue of counteraction. Through it all, one valiant woman who struggled to hold her own amid the chaotic events concerned, succeeded in reaching something to her satisfaction, but it could have seemed a pyrrhic victory to those dispossessed.
