Australian Army Cadet Under-Officer, eighteen year old Barbara Brassington, is with her cadet unit on a bivouac in the bush near the tiny North Queensland town of Millaroo.
But this is no ordinary bivouac.
Not only must she deal with the usual challenges of teenage behaviour: poor leadership, misbehaviour, and fraternization, she must deal with the scandalous behaviour of Chloe Cummings and her propensity for nudity and outrageous actions.
But during the weekend Barbara’s unit is drawn into a terrifying and deadly drama that will test her moral and physical courage, leadership, emotions and skills to the limit.
Read on to find out how the cadets cope with the unexpected crisis.

Chris grew up in Cairns and Cape York Peninsula, frequently going to sea in his father's ships and experiencing many adventures which he has woven into his books. Bushwalking, history and travel have added depth to his experiences as have 59 years in uniform- 4 as an army cadet, 3 in the Regular Army, including a year on active service in Vietnam, and 23 in the Army Reserve plus 35 as an Officer of Cadets.
