Barely out of boyhood, Alex's insatiable hunger for a life away from home, new thrills and new horizons, drive him to join the oft maligned elite group of RAF the Provost. When good fortune coupled to his own ingenuity lead to his prayers being answered he finds himself propelled into the ruins of post-war occupied Germany, a mere decade after the Allies claimed victory. A strict self-disciplinarian, blessed with a healthy mix of justice, mischief and more than a meandering eye for the opposite sex, Alex escapes boredom living life on the edge following the maxim that "Rules are made to be broken!" As such he bends the rigid structures of military life in a foreign country to fit within his own world - until on the island of Sylt God has the last laugh and Alex is blackmailed into entering a world that’s only whispered about.
