About this book

At a British army base, preparations for the secretive Operation Apollo draw a disparate group of soldiers into a world of suspicion, desire and unsettling questions. Lieutenant James Churchill and his companions confront not only spies and military authority but the prospect of death itself. Kingsley Amis combines espionage, dark comedy and philosophical speculation in this unusual novel.
