Synopsis:

Thommo returns from Vietnam to Australia where he is regarded as a mercenary guilty of war crimes. He develops both physical and mental problems, and thinks it must only be him until he finds ten mates, all who remain of his platoon who fought and died, are affected the same way. Now they are eleven angry men out for revenge. They rope in an ex-Viet Cong with 'special skills' and his own secret agenda. They're the real life 'Dirty Dozen', only they're so screwed up they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Until a woman of character steps in. Wendy's infant daughter is dying and needs a bone marrow transplant. She sets out to mould this bunch of ex-jungle fighters into a unit that will fight for justice, by fair means or foul.

The Bookworms Mission:

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
