A fantastic historical adventure for teenagers, capturing the courage, optimism and true Australian spirit of a nation facing an uncertain future.
'We're fighting a hidden war for freedom and democracy in the Pacific, for a better world for our children, and I'm not letting the enemy win.'
In the early 1950s, the Cold War is intensifying. Communist Russia and China are expanding their influence, fears of a third world war are growing, and Australia feels increasingly isolated in the Pacific.
Teenagers John Spender and Annie Williams unexpectedly find themselves at the heart of a secret struggle for Australia's defence. Drawn into a world of diplomacy, danger and high-stakes decisions, they discover that courage can matter just as much as power.
Against the odds, can Australia forge a bold new plan to protect the nation and secure its future?
