Reading MNight 2014- Unsung Heroes

Blurb
It is 1941. War has come to Malaya.

The British Commonwealth Army has been all but demolished at Kota Bharu and a tactical shift down to Singapore has turned into a full-scale retreat. With the path now clear, Japanese troops pour uncontested into the Malayan heartland, sowing destruction and devastation in their wake. All that oppose them are cut down. The peninsular belongs to the Emperor now. But it is in the darkest of hours where true strength is found.

Kampung Ara is a small rural village, not even worth a dot on the map. Deemed to be strategically irrelevant, the Japanese take only one thing of value – a young woman named Ling. Shocked by this blatant kidnapping, the villagers hastily put together a rescue team to bring her back. But how could a makeshift band of brothers possibly take on the might of the Imperial Army?

Join us on this adventure of bravery, comradeship and solidarity, and you may just learn how the tiniest of sparks can ignite the strongest of fires…
