“…[it made me] feel like I was living through it, every uncertain, funny or white-knuckled minute.” — Amazon review.
August 1945: News of Japan’s surrender has Mac’s platoon itching to sail home. Suddenly and without explanation they are rushed to the island of Java. Disappointed, the war-weary soldiers console themselves with dreams of tropical weather, fresh food and appreciative locals. Instead they find themselves targets in a new, unreported war. Outnumbered and out-gunned they need help — help only the defeated but still-proud Japanese can provide. To survive both sides must set aside bitter hatreds and stand as allies against a wave of revolutionary terror.
Kenichi Ota had steeled himself for a last, suicidal stand. Saved by his emperor’s capitulation, he will risk his life once more to keep a promise….
For Kate, one of thousands of former prisoners of the Japanese, a fragile, romantic secret threatens her future….
“Black Sun, Red Moon gives us an almost tangible glimpse of the chaos that was Java in 1945-46. It is an ambitious, compelling saga of men at war, captivity, forced prostitution, murder, political dirty tricks and mob terror. Marron's writing — based on painstaking research — is sweeping, poignant, passionate and unflinching.” — Publisher’s Catalog
